Activities for Your Kiddos During Thanksgiving Week!

Even though it may be a short week for you, doesn't mean it makes the work any easier! Need some inspiration for things to do with your kiddos to get you through the week? Check out some resources below!

Thankful Turkeys Craftivity

This quick, fun, and adorable little craft is perfect for that chaotic week before Thanksgiving!

Students will assemble a turkey using "thankful feathers" in which they write or draw up to 5 things they are thankful for. Different feathers are provided for differentiation. 

Super cute, quick, and fun craftivity!

Don't Be a Turkey Math Center

This math center activity is a blast for students! While it is intended to be used in a center, this would be the perfect activity to have students do during some downtown in those few days before Thanksgiving!

Students match the turkey body (without feathers), to the five corresponding feathers, matching the numeral on the body to different ways to create the number on each feather.
Each matching set creates a completed turkey. After all turkeys are completed, students will record their answers on the recording sheet. 

Fidget Break Cards

 

This time of year is hard! If your kiddos are a little fidgety, try this idea- 12 cards consisting of 12 movement break ideas, called Fidget Breaks, to help refocus your students when in need of a break. These activities are most beneficial with students with ADHD, Sensory disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and other developmental and intellectual disabilities. This pack has been used in a special needs classroom for over 10 years! Learn more about fidget breaks here.

Roll & Do Math Games

These simple one page games (5 different one!) can be printed and laminated for many years of use! These can be used in math centers, as math games, for partner work, fast finishers, morning work, and more! These are perfect for this wonky time of year to keep kiddos busy! They are also Common Core aligned! (so many exclamation points!)

Draw With Me!

This packet includes almost 30 pages of guided drawing fun! Super easy to pull out during this weird week. Each page has a different "task" to complete. This packet includes some fun pages to draw and/or color, as well as many pages with an educational spin on the traditional drawing booklets. And believe it or not, the educational portions of this packet are common core aligned! Score!
