Number Order Puzzle: Cut the puzzle out along the guide lines then use the numbers along the bottom to help you put the puzzle back together.
Thanksgiving Pattern Activity: Use the game pieces at the bottom of the printable to finish each pattern.
Size Sorting: Cut out the turkey’s and then sort from smallest to largest. Discuss which one is smallest, largest, and middle or medium.
Building Activity: Print page twice, leave one whole and cut one for game pieces. Use the pieces to re-create the pattern. This download includes 2 building activities.
Scissor Skills: Use child safe scissors to practice cutting along the dotted lines.
Thanksgiving Graphing: Use the guides at the top of the page to color in the correct amount of squares. Discuss which one had the most, 2nd most, least, and 2nd least.
Letter T Poke Page: Lay page on the carpet, then use a toothpick or oversized thumb tack to poke holes along the letter lines. Hold up to window afterwards to reveal your letter!
Letter T Tracing: Laminate and then use dry-erase marker to practice tracing the letter T.
“Thanks” Bean Bag Toss: Cut out letter cards, then lay on floor. Call out a letter for your student and have them toss the beanbag onto the correct letter. Alternate Option: Attach cards to wall or cork board. Use dart gun to shoot each letter as you call it out! (This idea came from 1+1+1)
Thanksgiving Coloring Page: Use markers, or crayons to color the picture.
Color Puzzles: Cut out the pies, then cut each one in half in different ways. Match up the pies based on their color. For a challenge, have your child put the correct colored pie onto each color word on the word grid.
Counting: Cut out the number cards (incl. in download). Count each item on the cards and add the correct number card to the blank box.
Which is Different? Examine each row of images and circle the one that is different.
“Thanks” Letter Match: Use the Letter Disks to match up to each letter. If you’re looking for more challenge, give this game to your kindergartner as a capital/lowercase matching game by using the uppercase card with the lowercase letter disks or visa versa! Click here to download the accompanying Letter Disks if you don’t already have them!
Number Cards: Cut out the number cards then have your student place them in numerical order. Use the manipulative of your choice and put the correct amount on each card. Some ideas: cheerios, gold fish, beads, legos, mini-clothes pins, etc.
Pre-Writing Skills: Laminate and use a dry-erase marker to trace over the pre-writing shapes.
Do-A-Dot Marker Page: Use your Dot-A-Dot Markers to fill in the Letter T shapes! If you don’t have Dot-A-Dot Markers, you can also have your child add 1 sticker per circle to create the Letter T shapes.
That’s it! I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend, and my new Thanksgiving Printables!
Hi Erica,
Canadian Thanksgiving was celebrated back on the 2nd Monday in October, but I used the book “Three Young Pilgrims” by Cheryl Harness (Aladdin Picture Books: New York, 1992) to teach about US Thanksgiving and why the holidays are different. The book has wonderful ilustrations and Monkey loved being able to look at the cutaways of the ships. It is about the Allerton family and their arrival on the Mayflower and their first year in the New World. The book is available through Amazon for under $8 new and well under $5 used.
We topped it off by using the log cabin printables from the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (http://www.state.il.us/hpa/ps/construct_mainstreet.htm#BYOL) to build a village. It was perhaps a tad challenging for Grade 1 fingers bu we had older visitors that weekend and the 8 and 10 year olds loved it.
Thanks again for putting together a series of really fun printables. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving – we are all so Blessed.
These are so cute!
Thanks you for the inspiration!
Thank you!!!!!!
Awesome! Thanks so much!

I love this! But when i go to thye page to download them it is blank????
This is exactly what I needed for today, what a blessing to wake up to your email! I immediately showed it to my husband and am now trying to get the downloads… which are not so sure they want to come :-). I’ll keep trying though, I’m sure there’s a lot of other people out there trying to get them as well. Thank you so much!
Love your printables!!! 🙂 It inspires me. A really good book that I got at our library is called “Thanksgiving Mice” – my son LOVES it!
