Help your students celebrate the season of gratitude this November with Peekapak’s Tree of Gratitude Challenge!
Why gratitude? Gratitude is important because it can help us feel more connected to others and the world around us. It helps us take time to appreciate all the good things in our lives instead of focusing on what’s missing. Gratitude also helps us stay positive when things aren’t going well, which is important because our brains are hardwired to remember negative experiences more easily than positive ones.
How to Enter 🎉
- Students print and cut out a gratitude tag on paper—any size will do!
- Write / draw a person, place or thing you’re grateful for.
- Share it with us using #TreeofGratitude and tag @Peekapak on Twitter or email us at hello@peekapak.com.

Gratitude in Your Classroom 👩🏽🏫
So how can you embed this challenge in your classrooms? Here are some ideas:
- Give each student a gratitude tag and have them write down or draw anything they’re grateful for
- Create a gratitude tree where you place all the gratitude tags on the tree and display them around your classroom
- Have students write down one thing they are grateful for each day for a week
- You could even do a whole class project where everyone creates something (a poster, an illustration) about what they are grateful for!
- Have students work in pairs and share what gratitude means to them and what they’re grateful for.
Deadline for entries: December 1st, 2023 at 11:59pm ET. Winner will be announced December 4th and contacted to collect their prize.
