- Children can use a notebook or a folder and paper to make a Gratitude Journal.
- Practice gratitude journaling at a regular time each day, or a few times a week.

- A person in your life that you appreciate.
- An activity or hobby you are grateful to be able to do.
- A positive quality of someone that can sometimes be hard to get along with.
- A skill or ability you have.
- An item that you love.
- Something that made you laugh.
- What you have learned from something that was hard.
