Learning Snacks: PBS Kids Celebrates Friendsgiving!

This week, we are celebrating Friendsgiving with PBS Kids! All month long, we are celebrating friendship, community, and gratitude. Explore what it means to be a good friend with your PBS Kids favorites like Lyla in the Loop, Wild Kratts, and Daniel Tiger. This week is all about teamwork, caring for others, and spreading a little extra gratitude!

FOR KIDS: LEARNING TO SHOW GRATITUDE
Thanksgiving is the perfect time to show kindness and gratitude. You can learn how to be a good friend by watching some of your favorite PBS Kids shows that teach sharing, helping others, and saying thank you. Before the big day, help Arthur and his community get ready by playing An Elwood City Thanksgiving.

FOR PARENTS: PUTTING THE FRIEND IN FRIENDSGIVING!
This week, remember that the holiday goes beyond the meal at the table. Thanksgiving is a time to slow down and reflect as a family on ways to show gratitude. Thanksgiving is all about the stories we share, gratitude notes we write, and little moments of kindness that build deeper connections. Being thankful is a powerful way for friends to know you care!

FOR EDUCATORS: THANKSGIVING HISTORY AND SCIENCE
This Thanksgiving, take a break from the everyday and spend time reflecting as a class on the meaning of the holiday. Celebrate culture and gratitude as you discover the history behind the holiday. Check out these primary sources that provide a window into the meaning of Thanksgiving and how it has been celebrated for hundreds of years. And for a fun brain break, see how Thanksgiving food is prepared in space!

Happy Thanksgiving from PBS KIDS!

We’re inviting kids and their families to celebrate friendship all month long with PBS KIDS. Throughout November, we’ll feature content that illustrates community and friendship in its many forms: family, adopted families, chosen families, friends, and neighbors.
