It’s time for our 6th annual #GratitudeSnaps Challenge! Each November of gratitude has found us in a different chapter of our story and yet, it always seems to come at the perfect time.
When people begin to flood the Twittersphere with an outpouring of gratitude and love, you can’t help but feel the joy. We are almost giddy with excitement to announce that #GratitudeSnaps 2022 is launching Tuesday, November 1st!
The #GratitudeSnaps Challenge is as easy as 1-2-3.
Focus each day on one thing for which you are grateful. It could be a thing, a person, a feeling; it’s personal to you.
Educators, students, community members…anyone who would like to participate is more than welcome. The more positivity we can flood the world with, the better.
Learn more about the origin of #GratitudeSnaps by tuning into the Make Learning Magical podcast, Season 2, Episode 3 right HERE!
Create a GratitudeSnap by connecting it to something positive in your life. Add pics, text, anything you choose.
Take a picture with your phone and share why this image makes you grateful. You can use any picture app to create your #GratitudeSnaps. We have used Snapchat for many years. But, this year I (Tara) will be using Instagram stories for capturing my image and curating my snaps via Wakelet. You can find my 2022 #GratitudeSnaps HERE or by clicking the image below.
For Snapchat, click here for a quick 3-minute video to show you the basics. Just create #GratitudeSnaps instead of #BookSnaps.
Click this link for many apps used to make #BookSnaps, which can easily convert to #GratitudeSnaps.

Let’s begin our 26-days of #GratitudeSnaps on Nov 1st, 2022.
It will last until Thanksgiving, November 24th. You’re welcome to keep it going; there is certainly no “time frame” on being grateful.
The world has plenty of negativity; let’s spread a grateful attitude!
We have so much of which to be thankful.
Wakelet is free and is a great way to curate your #BookSnaps, or, in this case, #GratitudeSnaps. I (Tara) will be curating my snaps via Wakelet this year. Click the image below to follow my 2022 journey.
Are you ready to storm the world with a POSITIVE #GratitudeSnaps force?
We are!

I am an educator who values the individuality and uniqueness of others. Writing the blog R.E.A.L. is an outlet for me to pay it forward by sharing ideas, influences, lessons learned and exposing a little vulnerability while encouraging others to maximize their R.E.A.L. potential, as well.
