Thanksgiving revolves much around food and that’s the focus on this particular material. Build Thanksgiving food vocabulary through hands-on activities and games. Students will learn and practice food words such as turkey, pumpkin pie, salad, bread, squash, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and more while developing their listening, speaking, reading, and vocabulary skills in a meaningful holiday context.

First, introduce the new food items that represent the Thanksgiving dinner using the food flashcards.

Place the flashcards on a table. Students collect three Thanksgiving foods they would like to eat. Then, they show their cards and say:

“I like turkey, corn, and carrots.”

This activity helps students practice Thanksgiving vocabulary, make personal choices, and build simple speaking skills.

 extra practice with the cutouts 

You can use them to set the table for Thanksgiving and the students can draw their plate with food that they would like to eat.

Make a TURKEY feed me box

 You can use it for almost anything. But my example is for the cutouts. Introduce the turkey that needs food.
Teacher: This is Mister Turkey! He is hungry. Let’s feed him.
Display all the food cutouts and do it as a listening activity.
Teacher: Tomas, feed the turkey to the turkey!

A game to wrap up the lesson or to play if you are going to host a Thanksgiving gathering at school.

Bingo is fun and easy to play. Hand in the student’s template to every 2 students as they can color, cut and glue only five food items on their plate template or just put them on the table. That will be their Bingo card. 

Use the colored calling cards as your Teacher’s set.

Happy Thanksgiving!
