The turkeys are festive linking to Thanksgiving, making the activity memorable and enjoyable. The color-focused activities help young learners expand their color vocabulary.

Flashcards appeal to visual learners by associating each color word with a turkey holding a crayon.

Hide flashcards around the room and let students find them. When they find a turkey, they call out the color of its crayon, reinforcing color recognition and making the activity a fun treasure hunt.

Show a turkey small card, and have students call out the color of the crayon the turkey is holding. Then, have them look in their pencil case for a crayon in the same color.

Worksheets reinforces the understanding through hands-on engagement. Give your students repeated exposure to color words.

Pocket charts matching cards. The turkeys holding crayons provide a fun visual connection to each color, making it easier for ELL students to identify and remember words through association.

The Board game provides a fun, low-pressure environment where students can practice color vocabulary, helping them learn through enjoyable interactions. Students will name the color on the crayon that each turkey holds in order to move along the path.

Print and create a group book. After students color each page, practice reading together as a class, emphasizing the sentence structure “I can see a ___ crayon.” This reinforces sight words and sentence patterns while associating colors with the vocabulary.

Pair students up and have them read their completed books to each other, practicing fluency and helping each other recognize color words.
