Thanksgiving Fun: Two Free Activities

Perfect for Grades PreK–6

by Traci Swain

2020-2021_Thanksgiving-Activity-Hero

Thanksgiving is the perfect time for kids to think about things for which they are grateful. Use these two free and fun creative activities to help your students reflect on and show their appreciation for all of the wonderful things in life.

Acrostic Poem: Older students can use the word GRATEFUL to create a poem about things they are thankful for.

Thankful Turkey: Younger students can color and decorate their own Thankful Turkey, writing something in each feather for which they are grateful!

Teacher Tip

Once your students are finished with their activities, hang all of them up on a board in your classroom or hallway so that everyone can admire their work! 

When your students are done, take a picture of their work and tag us on Facebook and/or Instagram using the hashtags #ScholasticBookClubs and #StayConnectedSBC. We hope that you have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

A Note from Judy

This week, we finish up our Thanksgiving double-feature with the posts inspired by A Jigsaw Jones Mystery: The Case from Outer Space by James Preller, illustrated by R. W. Alley. A coded message was found in a Little Free Library. Could the culprit be…an alien?! Your students can find out in the Book of the Week!

Reach for the stars in an original song with the Book Boys; watch an exclusive interview with author James Preller in Behind the Scenes; discover how one third grade teacher uses the Book of the Week to teach characterization and making predictions in Book Talks; and download a free printable “The Case of the Book of the Week” activity in Cooked Up from a Book.


Can your students crack the mystery in The Case from Outer Space before Jigsaw Jones and his friends? They’ll have to read to find out!
