Nine gratitude prompts ask children to name a friend, toy, memory, family member, body part, place, teacher, skill or talent, and song they feel thankful for, with space to explain why each one matters.
The I Am Grateful Worksheet for Children is a printable gratitude PDF designed to help children pause and think about the people, places, experiences and abilities they appreciate. With nine clear prompts and space to explain each answer, it gives pupils a structured way to express thankfulness without needing to start from a blank page.
Use it in PSHE lessons, wellbeing groups, classroom reflection time, counselling sessions, therapy homework, home learning, or as a calm activity after a busy day. The questions invite children to name a friend, toy, memory, family member, body part, place, teacher, skill or talent, and song, then add a reason why it feels important to them.
This resource can be used individually, in pairs, or as part of a wider lesson on feelings, kindness, positive thinking and emotional literacy. To support different needs, children can write short sentences, draw their answers, talk them through with an adult, or choose only a few prompts if a shorter task is more suitable.
It is also useful for starting gentle conversations about gratitude, resilience and noticing positives in everyday life. Adults can follow up by asking children what made an answer special, or by encouraging them to keep a gratitude list over the week.
Download and print the worksheet when you need a simple gratitude activity that is easy to introduce and flexible to use with different children and settings. This resource was created by MyleMarks.com.
