Turkey Activities for Kids {Plus Great Book Ideas Too!}

No Thanksgiving classroom would be complete without turkeys, so if you’re looking for turkey activities for your elementary or homeschool classroom, you’ve come to the right place. Turkeys are an iconic part of November in America. These wonderful birds are special to the American people. There is even a myth that Ben Franklin suggested the turkey as the national bird over the bald eagle. While not true, he did say that the turkey is a “bird of courage.” Most people, however, just think of turkeys as something delicious to eat – especially on Thanksgiving!

In this blog post, I’m happy to share some ideas for bringing turkeys into your classroom. These plump and friendly birds can share in the Thanksgiving fun in a number of ways. We’ll talk about math puzzles that help  students practice their basic skills to a great selection of picture books and chapter books to celebrate turkeys. I’ll also include some ideas for how your students can express their creativity while making decorations that celebrate the turkey we have all come to love!
