Thanksgiving Craft Activity Display

Autumn is my favorite season. I love the warm color palette and the cooler air. It brings with it a special happy feeling. As we move into the holidays, I always find the school days get long. One of my favorite activities that I do every year is Turkey for Times Tables. I don't like my students to always use a pattern but this turns out so cute. I love making a bulletin board for it! I give them the template for the turkey printed on brown construction paper. They then have to design and cut out their own feathers from multicolored paper. We would talk about symmetry and how we wanted our turkeys to look. I have even used wiggle eyes instead of the eyes on the turkey cut out. My students love it.

I use the turkey by having students choose a math fact set to work on. Sometimes I assigned them the fact set to use. Students then write the number on the turkey. Then on each feather, they would write the problem multiplied by that number for 1 through 9. It was that simple but oh so adorable. Get yours today at my Teacher's Notebook Store today!

Turkey for Times Tables

Turkey Clip Art

This versatile craftivity will become a favorite in November. Program the turkey belly with a category, such as nouns. Each feather is then programmed with an answer such as ball (noun). The bulletin board above shows a multiplication fact for the number on the belly. Allow students to make own feathers without a pattern to create a beautiful display! Use for a center, file folder game or bulletin board. Color and line art included. Uses are endless!  Get yours today at my Teacher's Notebook Store today!
