Thanksgiving Activities

Hi all! I love this time of year! I have some fun Thanksgiving/fall-themed activities for the next couple of weeks. I have a Thanksgiving-themed unit for sale that includes writing activities, word work and math (elapsed time, counting coins and logic). Click HERE to check it out. Here is what is in the unit (answer sheets are included):

• 24 Thanksgiving words for a word wall that doubles as an ABC order center and common vs. proper noun center
• an individual Thanksgiving word list for kids should you choose not to do the ABC order and common vs. proper noun as a center
• an ABC order worksheet
• a common vs. proper noun worksheet
• a worksheet to make as many words as possible with the letters in "Thanksgiving"
• an “All the Ways I am Thankful” book for students
• a noun, verb and adjective activity to act as a brainstorm for the “Thanksgiving is …” poem
• a rough copy sheet and final copy sheet for “Thanksgiving is …” noun, verb and adjective poem
• a “Thankful” acrostic poem
• a “Pilgrim” acrostic poem
• a coin counting activity where students count the money in a coin set to determine if there is enough money there to buy popular Thanksgiving food items
• an elapsed time activity and mini-book where students use clues to help plan Thanksgiving Day for a fictitious family
• a logic problems worksheet where students have to determine the ordering of items based on clues


I also sell the math, writing and word work separately if you do not need all three.

Enjoy!
