3 Family Activities for Thanksgiving
Unless you have a child auditioning for “MasterChef Junior,” you’re probably not going to let the little ones cook the turkey this Thanksgiving. Just because the kitchen might be off limits doesn’t mean you can’t find a few creative ways to make the holiday extra special for your kids. Spice up Thanksgiving with these fun, family friendly activities. Coloring-Book Tablecloths If you have a big family, you are probably familiar with the Thanksgiving tradition of the kids’ table. It may be smaller than the grown-ups’ seating arrangement, but it doesn’t have to be any less special.Turn your kids’ table into a canvas for a colorful, creative dining experience. To do this, use craft or art paper to cover the table. Tape everything down tightly and provide crayons and colored pencils for every place setting. If you want to add some extra holiday spirit, put the drawing supplies in empty cranberry sauce and pumpkin cans. Gratitude Mobiles Of course,Thanksgiving isn’t just about delicious food. It’s also about reflecting on the parts of our lives we are grateful for.Teaching kids about gratitude is the most valuable Thanksgiving lesson. Bring that concept to life with a gratitude mobile. Grab some colored paper circles or cut them out, and then have your children write down things that they are thankful for — a silver Sharpie is great for this. Punch holes in the tops of the circles and run string through them.Tie the other end of the string to a coat hanger or embroidery hoop and hang it from the ceiling. “I was denied my claim for workers’ comp at my job. I contacted him, set up an interview, and he told me he would take my case. I felt assured that he would do the best he could to help get my medical bills covered and recover my lost wages. “This case started in July of 2015.We went to mediation and tried that route, but it didn’t work for me. So we ended up going to court. The judge at the time thought it was correct to deny my claim. At that point, I thought it was all over. Bob informed me that we were going to appeal, but I wasn’t holding out for a good result.Well, today, April 2017, I’m glad to say my lawyer was correct. I ended up winning my case. “I was over the moon with the service I received from him and his entire staff. You would be crazy not to have this man in your corner to fight for the rights that you deserve as a taxpayer and an employee for a company. As attorneys go, he was very knowledgeable, and he walked me through every single step of my case. You could not be in better hands. So do yourself a favor: If you ever find yourself in this situation, you need to contact him and at least have a meeting. I’m a very satisfied client, and I would send any and all of my friends there.” –Denis Doran Bob Bollinger is a board-certified specialist in workers’ compensation law with over 25 years of experience. Here is a case that Bob recently handled.
Stuff the Turkey Game Want to get the kids outside so you can get to work in the kitchen? Create a Thanksgiving-themed game for them to play outside while you prep the stuffing and put the turkey in the oven. To create a holiday-themed “Stuff the Turkey” game, all you need is a few paper bags —we’ll bet you have some leftover from shopping. Use two small bags stuffed with scrap paper to create legs and glue them to a larger bag folded to look like the body of a turkey. Now that you have your turkey, you need some balls to stuff it with.Anything soft and baseball-sized will work, even some balled-up paper. Kids will take turns trying to toss the balls into the turkey, scoring points for every shot made. When you refer us, we want you to be the “hero” in the story.We want the person you referred to come back to you months later and say, “I am so glad you referred me to the Bollinger Law Firm! They were so nice to me, and they took great care of me and my case. They got me a better outcome than I imagined possible! Thank you so much for telling me to call the Bollinger Law Firm!” I worked in blue-collar jobs as a young man, before I graduated from college. These jobs included tailing a ripsaw in a furniture factory and cutting carpet cushion in a foam rubber factory. It makes me furious to see honest, hardworking people being mistreated after getting hurt at work. I get a lot of satisfaction from helping working people get a fair outcome on their workers’ comp claims. Everyone’s case is different, so these results are not indicative of future results.
