Attitude of Gratitude: 2-Lesson Kids' Ministry Curriculum

Help kids put on their Gratitude Glasses and see the many blessings God has placed all around them!

Attitude of Gratitude is a joy-filled, two-lesson kids' ministry series that teaches children that gratitude isn't just for Thanksgiving. It's an attitude God wants us to carry every day. Kids learn to slow down and notice God's blessings, big and small, and then let their thankful hearts overflow into how they worship God, obey Him, serve, and treat their families at home. It's perfect for the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, or any time of year.

The Lessons

• Lesson 1: Having an Attitude of Gratitude (Ephesians 5:19-20). Kids compare a grateful person with an ungrateful person, experience the $1 and $5 challenge, and learn to put on their Gratitude Glasses.
• Lesson 2: Showing Your Gratitude (Galatians 6:10). Kids discover three ways to show God gratitude (worship, obey, and serve) and six ways to show gratitude at home.
