Roll up your sleeves (and maybe pass the gravy) with the Helping Hands Writing Prompt! This Thanksgiving activity encourages kids to think about how they can lend a hand, without accidentally dropping the turkey. Writing and drawing come together in this heartwarming and hilarious project that showcases the many ways we can help others during the holiday season. First, kids will reflect on all the ways they’ve been helpful, or could be helpful, this Thanksgiving. Will they set the table without sneak-eating the rolls? Offer to do the dishes instead of disappearing into a pumpkin pie coma? Or maybe their “helping hands” involve cheering up a cranky relative with a joke about turkeys crossing the road. Whatever their helping superpower, it’s time to put it into words. Next, the artistic fun begins! Kids will draw their very own “helping hands,” complete with doodles of their Thanksgiving good deeds. Add in some colorful crayons, markers, or glitter (if you dare), and these hands will be ready to hang on the fridge, the classroom wall, or right next to the dessert table for everyone to admire. Perfect for inspiring gratitude, creativity, and just a touch of turkey humor, this activity is all about making Thanksgiving more special, one helping hand at a time! Enjoy!

It’s Thanksgiving, and anything goes, except skipping dessert.

The Turkey Letter Recognition Seek and Find Mats offer engaging literacy activities for early learners around Thanksgiving. Students search for letter cards hidden around the classroom and locate the matching letters on one of three themed mats to promote letter recognition. The mats can be used in multiple ways such as "find and dot" or "find and cover" to match letters in various formats. Learners trace inside the large printed letters with markers to simultaneously practice pre-writing skills. These versatile mats work for whole group lessons, literacy stations in small groups, or independent exploration. With minimal prep time required, the letter cards can be printed, laminated, and continually reused along with the mats year to year. The Turkey Letter Recognition Seek and Find Mats offer an interactive, hands-on approach to build foundational literacy skills with seasonal excitement through letter recognition, matching, and early handwriting practice.

After the story is written, it’s time to bring it to life with a colorful drawing! Turkeys in disguises, turkeys in Paris, or turkeys just living their best lives, it’s up to the kids to illustrate their feathered protagonist’s escapades. Perfect for combining creativity and humor, this activity will leave everyone thankful for laughter, storytelling, and turkeys with BIG dreams. Bonus: no turkeys were harmed in the making of these tales! Enjoy!

Sunflowers – Coloring Sheet | Helianthus annuus

Sunflowers – Coloring Sheet | Helianthus annuus A simple activity to accompany science or seasonal lessons 🌻🖍️ This printable coloring sheet focuses on the sunflower ( Helianthus annuus ) and can be used to support lessons on plants, summer flowers, or as a quiet creative task in between more content-heavy subjects. It’s easy to integrate into primary classroom routines and works well as a one-lesson activity – no prep needed. The download includes two versions: one with a cheerful color frame and one in classic black and white, perfect for photocopying. Students can color the sunflower while reviewing what they’ve learned or as part of an introduction to summer plants and flower species. What’s included: One sunflower coloring page with decorative frame (PDF) Color version for digital or presentation use Black and white version for classroom copying I’ve used this sheet alongside our lesson on plant parts or after reading a short informational text about sunflowers. Some students like to label the parts of the flower directly on the page or write a short description on the back. It also works well in stations, during free work time, or in a substitute lesson when you need something calm and creative. If you’re working on a seasonal theme, this sheet pairs nicely with other sunflower materials – like nonfiction texts, vocabulary work, or mini research tasks. It helps younger students connect scientific observation with creativity and gives them a chance to slow down and focus. This resource is ready to print and use in class or at home. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and welcoming learning environment. 🐶
