Thanksgiving is just around the corner and whether students have a full week off like my district or just the two days of the holiday, they're ready for something extra fun to keep their interest.
In my classroom, students have a daily warm up that generally takes then about five minutes to complete at the start of class. This is usually a writing prompt of some kind or a quick review question about a previous lesson. During the holiday season though, I like to give them something fun to do on the computer instead. If you are 1:1 computers in your classroom, of course this works great, but you can also do it with partners/teams on computers or even let students do it on their smartphones.
Here are a few fun ideas for Thanksgiving:
- Silly Turkey - dress the turkey
- Catch a Thanksgiving Turkey (game)
- Turkey Survival Mission (game)
- What's Your Thanksgiving IQ (trivia)
- Turkey Shoot (game)
- Turkey Swap (puzzle)
I hope your students enjoy these!
