Here are a few sites we used but the possibility is endless! You could watch a YouTube how-to video!

 

After you go over where everything goes you have them set their own table as a test!

 

We also talked about good manners at a restaurant! With things like how to tip your server... etc...

 

We also talked about unique restaurants! SUPER fun! Here is a website for that!

The last activity we quizzed the residents by showing different food and having them pick which utensil to eat it with and hold it up! (remember your fingers are included!)

Here are the photos we used!

 

HAVE FUN! :) They will love this! :) (Make sure to do this before they eat a meal! So they don't get grouchy when there is no food after haha!)

Thanksgiving Activity Pumpkin Cheesecake

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE

 

 

It's that time of year again! Thanksgiving! We did a fun baking activity I wanted to share! You could use this all year around! They BEG for treats often so we decided to make Pumpkin Cheesecake! YUM!

 

 

What you will need:

• 2 pkg (8 oz) Cream Cheese
• 1/2 c sugar
• 1/2 c canned pumpkin
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• dash ground clove
• dash ground nutmeg
• 2 eggs
• 1 ready-to-use graham cracker crumb (6 oz)
• 1 cup thawed cool whip

 

Heat oven to 350. Blend all ingredients. Pour into crust. Cook 40 minutes. Refrigerate 3 hours and top with cool whip! SERVE :)

 

 

We made it a very sensory activity and took turns stirring and adding different ingredients! We even made two cheesecakes and started over from scratch and made double. While we did that we played a gratitude game!

 

 

I used pipe cleaners instead which was hard to pick up a single one without all of them sticking together! So maybe straws or painted popsicle sticks would work better! But it was super fun and easy! :)


Here are some other ideas if you'd like!
