Thanksgiving Charades Cards with Pictures

About this worksheet

Fifteen Thanksgiving charades cards, each with a colored picture so preschoolers can play without reading: gobble like a turkey, rake leaves and jump in the pile, hold on to a parade balloon in the wind, be a scarecrow on a windy day, wash a mountain of dishes, fall asleep after a big dinner. Cut them apart and act them out with no words. A get-up-and-move game for the whole family, from age 4 to Grandpa. Big pictures and only a few tasks per page make it a gentle start for kindergartners.

Tips for using it

• Pull a three-page packet per child for the short school week: one math page, one word puzzle and one gratitude page at their level.
• Print the answer keys (page 2) once and clip them to a folder so early finishers can check their own work.
• For a mixed-age family table, give every child the same activity at a different level: the picture word search for the five-year-old, the dinner table word search for the nine-year-old.
• Print the place cards and the placemat the evening before; children who color the table decorations feel like hosts.
