One of the best things about Kindergarten is finding every opportunity to celebrate something. Thanksgiving themed activities took over just about every aspect of our day. Deanna Jump is amazing and provides the best resources that are cute AND incorporate learning...which is a big deal. Activities without a purpose, even if they're cute, are just silly. Most of our activities came from her pack on TPT which you can find here. Here are a couple of my favorite activities that we did together.
These are our pilgrims which we made after learning the types of clothes pilgrims wore, what chores they had to do, and what their journey over on the Mayflower was like. They wrote about what one item they would take with them if they were going on the Mayflower. We had lots of stuffed animals, sports equipment, and toys going over.
These are our turkeys petitioning for other food to be eaten instead of turkey on Thanksgiving. We also wrote a three step plan using first, next, and last of how the turkeys would escape the farm.
Next to our turkey bulletin board, I put a few QR codes that send students to You Tube videos of silly Thanksgiving songs. If a student finishes early, they can scan the code and watch the videos.
