Fun Ways to Teach Kids Thanksgiving Bible Verses

One of my favorite Bible verses is 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” I cannot tell you how many times a day the Holy Spirit uses that verse to correct and encourage my ever-wandering heart! I want my boys to know the Lord and His best for them, too. This can happen simply by making the Bible that “light to my path…” and putting various Scriptures to memory.

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I wanted to share some fun ideas to help your little ones learn what the Bible says about gratitude!

I hope you have a good time with these. 🦃

Fun Activities to Teach Thanksgiving Bible Verses

  • Write a Bible verse about being thankful on your family’s bathroom mirror using a dry erase marker or Post-It notes.
  • Walk around the neighborhood and write thanksgiving Bible verses on the sidewalk using chalk.
  • Write thanksgiving-themed Bible verses on homemade cards. Deliver to people you meet while running errands (grocery store cashier, bank teller, coffee shop employee) or take to a local nursing home.
  • Make THIS adorable Scripture turkey craft.
  • Make up songs using thanksgiving Bible verses as the lyrics. Call someone and have your kids perform their uplifting tune!
  • Print THESE Thanksgiving Scripture Cards and place one at each person’s place setting at your family’s Thanksgiving celebration. Take turns reading them out loud.
  • Let your children say grace before a meal. Encourage them to pray using a thanksgiving-themed Bible verse.
  • Put Thessalonians 5:18 on a wooden letter board like THIS ONE.
  • Play THIS fun Thanksgiving Scripture Scramble game using the provided FREE Printable Bible verse cards.
  • Memorize a Thanksgiving Bible verse together. Then go around the dinner table and have one person start by saying the first word of the verse. Then have the person to their left say the next word in the verse and so on. Keep going around the table, each saying the next word in the verse, until it is finished. When the last person finishes the verse, the next person must shout out “Gobble!” like a turkey.
  • Print out and color a thanksgiving Bible verse coloring page placemat like THIS ONE and use it on Thanksgiving day.
  • Take a photo of your child and edit to add text to the photo by using a program like PicMonkey. Make the text a thanksgiving Bible verse. Print and deliver to grandparents.
  • Write out a verse on a poster board and decorate. Hang in your front window.

Thanksgiving Bible Verses

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “Give thanks whatever happens. That is what God wants for you in Christ Jesus.”
  • Philippians 4:6 – “Do not worry about anything. But pray and ask God for everything you need. And when you pray, always give thanks.”
  • Psalm 107:1 – “Thank the Lord because he is good. His love continues forever.”
  • Ephesians 5:20 – “Always give thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
  • Colossians 3:15 – “Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking. You were all called together in one body to have peace. Always be thankful.”
  • Psalm 100:4 – “Come into his city with songs of thanksgiving. Come into his courtyards with songs of praise. Thank him, and praise his name.”
  • Colossians 4:2 – “Continue praying and keep alert. And when you pray, always thank God.”
  • Psalm 95:2 – “Let’s come to him with thanksgiving. Let’s sing songs to him.”
  • Psalm 69:30 – “I will praise God in a song. I will honor him by giving thanks.”
  • 2 Corinthians 9:15 – “Thanks be to God for his gift that is too wonderful to explain.”

I would love to know if you do any of these ideas this week!

I am thankful for YOU!

Joyfully,

Julie 🙂

    Henry James once said, “Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.” And in honor of God’s best act of kindness in sending JESUS to the world, today I am sharing my top 6 favorite Christ-centered Christmas Acts of Kindness  #ontheblog ! ❤️❤️ ALSO Baby Zion is excited to tell you that we are partnering with  @zonderkidz  to give away TWO copies of the brand new  @thebeginnersbible  special Gift Edition to one amazing winner - one Bible to keep and one to give

    Ryan is outside hanging Christmas lights and the boys are hiding “turkey feathers” in the back yard for one another to find. Zion is crawling around pulling all the things off and out of all the things and I am getting ready to put on my  @spanx  faux leather leggings so that I can eat all the mashed potatoes later at Grammie’s. Happiest of Thanksgivings from our crazy crew to yours!

    Ungrateful eyes: Messy pantry. Christmas boxes. Laundry on chairs. Dirty floors. Dishes in the sink. Sugar ants taking over. Grateful eyes: Chubby, happy baby. Christmas magic actually happening early this year. Full bellies. Clothes to wear. House buzzing with life. Chubby, happy baby

    One of the funniest comedy bits I have heard is by Jim Gaffigan on bedtime. As a father of 5, he says, ✨ “Bedtime is a crisis. It’s like a hostage negotiation… but in reverse. I will meet your demands… just stay in there!” ✨ In an effort to make it not a crisis every night, I am sharing 5 simple ways we try to help our boys get calm for bed  #ontheblog . Also, I am partnering with  @hmhkids  to giveaway a copy of the latest book in the  #littlebluetruck  series. It is the sweetest book - the perfect way

    Ohhh sweet Baby Z. How can it be that we have had you with us for one whole year already? These last 12 months have been our favorite. Your smile and sweetness have made all of our lives brighter. ⭐️You keep waking up with more and more teeth. ⭐️You eat everything we give you - except . ⭐️You love to stand at the piano, hitting the keys and shaking your leg happily. ⭐️You haven’t slept through the night yet, but that’s okay. When you wake up, we all go running because we can’t wait to see you. ‍♀️ ⭐️You love

    So thankful that Hurricane Dorian took a turn away from our area because if it hadn’t, we would not have been able to pop over to Mom-Mom’s house and celebrate her birthday with her yesterday. . I’ve been all tangled up in knots trying to think of something to get my mom for her birthday because what do you give to someone who you wish you could give EVERYTHING? No new shoe or gift card can express how much I love and admire and appreciate this lady. So we showed up on her doorstep with birthday headbands and party blowers

    Just when I think that my little website might be winding down, the Lord brings an opportunity my way that makes me think He is not finished with Happy Home Fairy yet! I would love it if you would click the link in my bio to check out an interview I got to do recently for  @voyagemiami ! I feel so blessed to get to share some blog history and my heart there. Thank you all for hanging with me and supporting what I do. I truly love sharing life with y’all! ✨

    Jet came to school without shoes, the baby didn’t make it out of his pajamas, the boys desperately need haircuts, and we read nothing on the summer reading list. We didn’t feel put together today, but we felt the fresh hope of new beginnings and sharpened pencils! ✏️✏️  #backtoschool

    It seems that every day Baby Z wakes up with more teeth! I am always looking for things that he can chew on that are safe and cute. I was SO excited when I heard about Christina at  @the_joyful_teether  because she makes the most adorable, high-quality paci teether clips for little ones. ✨ I especially love that she has designs in neutral colors. But BEST of all is that Christina loves Jesus and makes her teething toys with His love and for His glory. Grab one for your baby or a gift for the teething baby in your world! *NOT
