5 Thanksgiving Activities for Your Elementary Classroom

Looking for Thanksgiving activities for elementary or special education? Look no further! I’ve rounded up five Thanksgiving activities for kids, perfect for the classroom!

1. Write Thanksgiving notes and cards.

Have students express gratitude to family, peers, or staff by writing a Thanksgiving letter or card using these fun templates.

2. Make a thankfulness tree display.

These leaves are simple but make a stunning display! Staple them on a bulletin board or have students draw a tree to arrange them on.

3. Create gratitude journals.

Gratitude changes everything! Have students dig deep on what they’re thankful for with these colorable journals.

4. Make a thankful turkey craft.

These colorful turkeys are a fun take on a classic Thanksgiving craft!

5. Color Thanksgiving coloring pages.

These Thanksgiving coloring and activity pages are great to have on hand for fast finishers or for the day before break.

I hope these Thanksgiving activities for kids make teaching in November a little easier!
