Guided Journaling Questions

Dinner Table & Family Prompts: Gratitude Journal Prompts

Engaging questions for kids, classrooms, and family meals.

Why This Practice Works

Replacing "How was your day?" with playful, specific questions helps children and families articulate positive emotions.

1

What was the funniest or most surprising thing that happened today?

2

Who was a "helper" in your day today, or how did you help someone else?

3

If you could replay one 10-minute part of today in slow motion, which part would you pick?

4

What is something in nature (an animal, cloud, tree, or weather) you noticed today?

5

What is something you learned how to do this year that you couldn’t do last year?
