If you would like some new traditions to add to your November gathering, here is a Thanksgiving activity to try
Share something new with your family at your next gathering. Check out these conversation starters.
Gather around the Thanksgiving table, and use these conversation starters to engage family and friends, too. Use these statements and questions as conversation starters instead of asking for expressions of gratitude. There are no rules–just have fun asking others to fill in the blanks and offering up our own answers. This activity may go on after dinner if everyone gets into the answers!
