Teach your kids about praising God straight from Scripture with this Thanksgiving Bible Lesson for kids — a lapbook and a Bible study!
In fact, every year we play a fun game. Everyone gets a sheet of paper and lists things we’re thankful for, from A to Z. For A, I might list: Amy, apples, and avocados. Then I move onto B. I love the game so much I put it in the Thanksgiving lapbook.
Games are fun, and the Thanksgiving A to Z game makes us think about our blessings. But do we have a biblical understanding of giving thanks? Do our kids?
Because that’s what we really want, right? We want our kids to know and love our Lord–biblically.
It’s important for our kids to slow down and really take a look at different stories in the Bible, so they really understand what Scripture is saying about a subject. That’s the reason for our lapbook series here at Thinking Kids. The Thanksgiving Lapbook is super cute and a lot of fun–and really important for your children.

How to Print and Use the Thanksgiving Bible Lesson Lapbook for Kids
To create the base of your lapbook, place your file folder on a table and fold both sides inward toward the creased spine of the folder. Once the outer edges meet, crease your file folder. This will give you a book that opens in the middle. You will still have a fold in the middle of your book, so I like to glue a piece of cardstock into the middle section of the book to create a thick center that won’t bend.
You can watch a quick tutorial for the Thanksgiving lesson lapbook above.
The Thanksgiving Bible Lesson Lapbook will give your child hours of thoughtful Bible study, with visuals they’ll never forget.
