ENGAGE YOUR KIDS ON THANKSGIVING
WITH THESE GRATITUDE-THEMED GAMES
When we think of the words “insurance companies,” most of us think of our own insurance company and how they will always be there to help us. Isn’t that what we pay premiums for? However, what we often learn is that when it comes time to file a claim, whether it’s through our own or through another person’s insurance company, we quickly discover that they aren’t there to help us at all. Insurance companies may use slogans such as “the good hands company,” “like a good neighbor,” “gets you back where you belong,” or “we keep our promise to you,” but they do not hold up to their own sayings. In reality, the motto of most insurance companies is, “delay, deny, and defend!” Insurance companies always try to deflect blame toward someone else. They want to pay the absolute minimum possible, regardless of what your family is now facing due to the dreadful circumstance they had to go through. They know that the combination of your injuries and the financial stress you are under can be overwhelming and choose not to help. If they can, they will take advantage of that stress to push you into a quick settlement for less than your claim’s full value. NEVER ALLOW AN INSURANCE COMPANY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU Thanksgiving is an excellent time to teach children about gratefulness. By planning some fun, gratitude-themed games, you can impart a valuable lesson and spend some quality family time together. Get your kids in the holiday spirit by adding a Thanksgiving twist to these classic games. PICTIONARY Want to bring out your kids’ creative sides? Pictionary is the perfect way to encourage artistic expression and grateful thinking. Try adding a rule where players have to draw something they’re grateful for. This will get your kids thinking beyond turkey and stuffing and give them an imaginative way to express their gratitude. Plus, who doesn’t love a good art contest? GUESS WHO? To play gratitude-themed Guess Who?, have each participant write down their name and something they’re thankful for on a slip of paper
and put it in a bowl. Then, at the dinner table, have each person draw a random slip and read what it says without saying the name while everyone else tries to guess who wrote it. While Pictionary may get your kids talking about what they are thankful for, Guess Who? will tune them into what others around them are thankful for too. PICK-UP STICKS Like regular pick-up sticks, the goal is to remove a stick from a haphazard pile without disturbing the others. However, by using colored sticks that represent different kinds of thankfulness — such as places, people, or food — you can make players think outside the box. This will ensure you get a wide range of creative, thoughtful answers whenever the kids pick up a stick. These modified games are great for helping your kids realize how much they have to be thankful for. Use these to spend some fun, educational, quality time with your family this Thanksgiving.
