Turkey Disguises

I love the book Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano. It's a fun story to read to your class around this time of year. It's about a turkey who tries different disguises to keep from ending up on the Thanksgiving table.

Each year, we ask our students to make "turkey disguises" to help save fictional turkeys from the Thanksgiving table. We send home THIS turkey template (it is a scanned version of a template that has been passed down through the years) printed on card stock. We ask them to use their imagination to create a good disguise for their turkey. They can use colors, materials, etc. to create their turkeys. This activity is just for fun, but it sure makes for a neat November bulletin board!
