"Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples." (1 Chron.
16:8)

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting." (1 Chron. 16:34)

"Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms." (Ps. 95:2)

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name. For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting, and His faithfulness to all generations." (Ps. 100:4-5)

6. At meal times, have a person tell why he/she is thankful for the other people eating with him/her.

What other ideas do you have? There are so many ways to practice thankfulness!!!
