Unleash your inner superhero this Thanksgiving with the My Thanksgiving Superpower Writing Prompt! This fun and festive activity invites kids to imagine what kind of superpower they’d wield during Thanksgiving, because let’s face it, we all need a little extra help when it comes to surviving the holiday season. First, students will write about their Thanksgiving superpower. Would they have the ability to instantly teleport to the front of the food line (no shame in that)? Or perhaps the superpower to make endless mashed potatoes appear with just a snap of their fingers? Maybe they’d have the power to make every family member’s laugh contagious (or the uncanny ability to avoid doing the dishes). The possibilities are as limitless as second helpings of pie! Once the writing is done, the creative fun continues with a drawing. Kids will illustrate themselves in full superhero gear, cape, mask, and maybe even a gravy boat in hand. It’s the perfect opportunity to show off their artistic talents, whether their superpower involves saving the day or just saving some room for dessert. This activity combines imagination, writing, and humor, all wrapped up in a Thanksgiving turkey-shaped cape! It’s the perfect way to give thanks for the fun (and funny) things that make the holiday extra special. Enjoy!
