Thanksgiving is a unique holiday that immigrants can use to teach kids about the American culture and country of origin culture. Here are some ways you can incorporate your own culture to a traditional thanksgiving
- Use traditional ingredients to make some of the traditional thanksgiving dishes eg spice the turkey using ethnic spices or make stuffing using an ethnic menu
- Play cultural music after the thanksgiving dinner such as salsa, lingala
- Incorporate a cultural desert to replace the thanksgiving pies
- Watch a popular sport in your country of origin instead of American football
- Tell cultural stories after the thanksgiving meal or around the thanksgiving table during the meal
- Create labels for the dishes in your native language
- Set up the food differently such as buffet style instead of the meal around the table style that is typical for American families.
- Decorate the thanksgiving table using ethnic decor
