Thanksgiving Word Activities

Turkey Day is just a couple of weeks away, and I can hardly believe it! The days leading up to holiday breaks are often filled with excitement— which is fun, but also sometimes translates into extra energy for the kids and extra exhaustion for the teachers (and parents!). Holiday themed activities are always a fun way to engage your students and attempt to wrangle the chaos a bit during those days. 

I’ve created a couple of fun word activities you’re welcome to use. These are geared more for upper elementary, but can definitely be used for kids of other ages if they are able to do them! Below you will find a downloadable word scramble as well as a Thanksgiving word making activity. 

Print them off and use as a sanity saver on those crazy days, as an activity for the car ride to Thanksgiving dinner, or print them off for the kids to work on while the turkey cooks on Thanksgiving Day! However you choose to use them, have fun!

Hop Hop Hooray! Easter is Coming!

Easter is so late this year– I keep feeling like it’s already passed, but when I remember that we still have a little bit, I get excited about it again! Easter is a fun holiday, especially because it’s associated with Spring (and the extra chocolate doesn’t hurt!).

Like the few previous holidays, I’ve created a couple of Easter themed I-Spy pages: one in color, and one black and white. These make the perfect classroom activity for fast finishers, as a stand alone activity, or they can even be used for group work. They are also really great to print off and have your kids do on the car ride to grandma and grandpa’s house for the annual family Easter egg hunt. Laminate them and use them over and over again!

Regardless if you use them at home or in the classroom, I hope you and your kiddos enjoy them!

Picture Books For Three Kings’ Day

I am a day late on Three Kings’ Day, I apologize! I was hoping to get this article up on January 6th, the day the holiday is celebrated. However, a mental health day was much needed, so therefore this post is a day late. However, I still feel it is an important one and should not be put off another year! So here it is! Picture books to read for Three Kings Day.
