How To Run It

  1. Choose recipients before the activity so the group knows who they are thanking.
  2. Set up stations for folding cards, decorating, writing messages, and addressing envelopes.
  3. Explain that specific thanks are more meaningful than generic messages.
  4. Rotate children through stations or let them complete full cards individually.
  5. Review the cards for names and kind wording.
  6. Deliver the cards as a group if possible.
