Go InternationalMany other countries celebrate their own versions of Thanksgiving throughout the year. Introducing elements of other cultures can also turn itno a mini-geography lesson for kids. Consider adopting one of these traditions for Thanksgiving:
- In Jewish culture, some families build a hut from branches called a Sukkot. Then they eat a meal beneath the hut.
- In China, families enjoy mooncakes, filled flaky pastries. The cakes were often used to deliver secret messages.
- In Korea, families honor the deceased. They hold a memorial service and occasionally visit a graveyard before feasting on Songpyeon.
- In Liberia, chicken and mashed cassavas replace turkey and mashed potatoes on the Thanksgiving table.
- In Ancient Rome, citizens celebrated Ceres, the goddess of corn. Ceres is also where we get the word cereal, so perhaps you could incorporate some sugary cereal into your Thanksgiving meal.
