- 15 minutes
- On your own
- Ages 5–7, Ages 7–9
- At home or classroom
- Printable: drawing frame
What to do
- Read the meaning together: thank you. Listen to the saying on its page if you can.
- Think of someone who helped you this week. A friend, a teacher, a bus driver, someone at home.
- Draw them in the frame doing the kind thing.
- On the lines, write: Thank you for ... An adult can write the words while the child says them.
- Give the note to the person, or keep it if you would rather.
Questions to talk about
- How do you think they will feel when they see it?
- Who else could you thank?
You will need
- The printed drawing frame
- Crayons or coloured pencils
Make it fit
Simpler: Draw the picture and write just your name. The adult reads the thank-you aloud as it is given.
More of a stretch: Write two sentences: what they did, and how it helped you.
