The Gratitude Challenge requires students to list 100 things for which they are thankful. To make it a bit easier, this project breaks the list down into 10 categories. For each of those categories, students will write 10 things they are thankful for.

The categories are:

• 10 Friends
• 10 Places
• 10 Books
• 10 Family Members
• 10 Foods
• 10 Things I Own
• 10 Inventions
• 10 Abilities
• 10 Things in Nature
• 10 Events

The project should be printed on one sheet of paper, front and back. It can then be folded into 3 sections, in brochure format. No scissors, glue, or staples needed! You will love the ease of this project.

PRINTING TIP: Select “print as image” on your printer settings. This will keep everything centered and all lines should print.
