The turkey theme
aligns with Thanksgiving. This resource offers a multi-faceted approach to
language learning. It encourages active participation through spinners,
flashcards, and interactive activities, ideal for keeping kindergarteners
focused.
The turkey
flashcards introduce and reinforces vocabulary in a meaningful, playful
way.
Describe
the turkey’s body parts: This is the turkey’s head!
Call
out a body part, and have students point or touch it on the board.
Students
match the body unit flashcards from the resource with the turkey flashcard to reinforce
vocabulary and visual recognition. Provide the turkey flashcard on the board.
Have students match flashcards on the correct body part (e.g.,
"wing," "beak"). This is a way to build word-to-concept
association and fine motor skills. Introduce the new body parts: beak, waddle,
wings, feathers.
Review
the concepts of up, and down with physical actions using the
flashcards to reinforce understanding.
Point
out the difference between left and right. Use the flashcards and then
have the students raise their left leg and right leg as you show the turkey’s
flashcard.
Turkey
Body Puzzle. It encourages problem-solving and
sequencing. Just print the worksheet and dictate the color of the body parts on
the turkey: Color the wings green!
Then,
when the turkey is colored, have the stduents cut along the lines and assemble the
turkey.
Another
worksheet to label the parts of the body on the turkey.
Print and create the spinner, using a butterfly pin and a clip. Spin the spinner, name the body part it lands on, and give a direction: "Point to the wing" on the turkey flashcard. Or call out a command, like "Touch the beak the turkey."
