“Thankful Still” is a 4-week Sunday School series designed to remind children (and adults) that even when things seem bad, that we have so much to be thankful for.

In these 4 lessons, students will see that some things never change and that we can always give thanks for these things. This curriculum also includes a month-long Thanksgiving Challenge where each week students will add to the challenge and hopefully develop an attitude of gratitude by the end of the month.

          Very useful

          I teach grades 1-3 at my church and currently, that means 6-7 boys. Very occasionally I have a couple of girls but pretty much it is boys. My boys often have behavioral and concentration issues (they mostly have unstable family situations and learning disabilities). I have found that these lesson plans give me enough leeway to keep their interest and provide productive interaction. This is not the first download I have used; I greatly appreciate them. Thank you

          Great for a verbal lesson without any activities that involve movement

          I wish it had some movement activities to go along with it. The message is great but could have used some game, or physical activity to remind kids who to work as a team or how to be challenged in a safe environment.

          Wonderful!

          The lessons are very good - we are doing them in February - they are appropriate all year! My teachers seem to like them, also. The one thing that could be improved is if the teaching materials pages were noted with the names given them during the lessons. It would help a lot.

          Thank you
