Give the whole family a chance to understand thankfulness by making a food basket for the poor, volunteering to serve a meal at the local mission or adopting a needy family for the holidays.
As guests arrive for dinner, have them write on a slip of paper what they're thankful for and place it in a bowl. Later, at the table, make a game of getting everyone to try and guess who wrote each slip of paper.
Make the children's table more fun by using a paper table cloth and giving each of them crayons or markers. Trace each child's hand and let them turn it into a turkey. Have leaves they could trace and color. Print out copies of coloring book pages or games.
Place Card Ideas: Instead of writing names, put old photos of each family member at their place. Everyone will want to take theirs home after they've shared something special about when the photo was taken.
Put on a crock pot of hot cider ahead of time so the house smells good and you have a warm drink to hand people as they arrive.
