I made a giant cootie catcher out of poster board.(You all remember the cootie catchers from grade school? 

If not go to Cootie Catcher and learn how to do so.

I used this idea in November for picking songs to sing:

Under each flap was a song from the program or whatever.
I had each child tell me one thing he/she was thankful for, then I would spell it and do the cootie catcher accordingly.

One older boy from the 10/11 boys said he was thankful for his progenitors ~ they were trying to stump me on that one. It worked well - because even the older kids wanted to help in picking out a song ~ a rare thing here.
