Thanksgiving - A Time for Gratitude and Paying it Forward

Click here for a wonderful video that demonstrates the power of feeling gratitude, then paying it forward: Show Gratitude and Pay It Forward - Soul Pancake
Before Watching:
*What is gratitude?
*What does it mean to Pay it Forward?
After Watching:
*How did the decision of each person to pay it forward make a difference?
*What did the beginning of the video and the end have in common?
*Researchers say that those who express gratitude also express more happiness.  Do you agree with this statement?  Why or why not?
*In small groups, plan and perform skits that show what this video would look like among students at your school.  What kinds of kind things could students do for each other?
