Thanksgiving Day activity

Nearly 400 years ago, the first thanksgiving dinner was celebrated. The Pilgrims, who emigrated from England searching for a better life, wanted to thank the American Natives for helping them learn how to grow food and hunt for meat. It was a celebration of gratitude for what they had and friendship too. 

Today, it is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November. Families and friends gather together for a special meal which traditionally includes:  turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and vegetables.
