Check out what’s included in our free download and how each activity can translate to the classroom or on Zoom!
Pumpkin Maze
Mazes are a fun way to help kids do everything from fine-tune motor skills to problem-solve. This festive maze is the only activity in our pack that is best done in-person.
Thanksgiving classroom activities: Having students work out a maze is always a good option to give a teacher a nice little breather!
Favorite Thanksgiving Dinner
Every Thanksgiving feast is as unique as the family around the table. That’s why this activity sheet is so special — it lets kids draw the foods that are a part of their own traditions. Turkey and cranberry sauce a staple in your household? Great. Sushi or tamales? Fabulous.
Thanksgiving activities to do on Zoom: This activity can easily create a truly special time of virtual sharing. Have everyone in the Zoom celebration do the activity before signing on and then take turns showing your colorful pages and explaining your favorite Thanksgiving foods.
Thanksgiving classroom activities: This activity can be a great way for students to share about their own traditions while learning about the diversity of their peers.
I Am Thankful For…
This activity sheet has kids (and adults!) write down something for which they are grateful for each letter of the word ‘Thanksgiving.’ Even in the midst of a pandemic and the changes that has brought, there is still so much to be thankful for and this activity helps us all lean into gratitude a bit more this year.
Thanksgiving activities to do on Zoom: This activity can help any boisterous Zoom celebration carve out a special time of virtual sharing. Whether it is a small meeting and everyone shares all 12 things they wrote down or a big online gathering where everyone shares one.
Thanksgiving classroom activities: This activity can be a great way to encourage gratefulness in students and will warm the hearts of parents and guardians when they get home.
Thanksgiving Mad Libs
Mad Libs has always been a hoot and a half so we created one centered around the Thanksgiving holiday. It’s an amazing way to get family and friends to create something together while laughing and even learning about grammar! It really is a win-win.
Thanksgiving activities to do on Zoom: If you were worried about your holiday Zoom hangout not being fun or engaging enough, this Thanksgiving Mad Libs can change everything. It so easily translates to online participation and can help even the quietest person on the screen feel truly involved.
Thanksgiving classroom activities: Our Thanksgiving Mad Libs is great for an English class and perfect as a small group activity that is fun while reinforcing those grammar terms.
Now that you know what’s in our Thanksgiving Activity Pack, we hope it will help the kids in your life exercise their creativity in fun and meaningful ways. You can also always print our sheets out again next year for even more fun, because as kids grow up, their favorite foods and their Mad Libs adjectives will surely change in beautiful and hilarious ways.
