Thanksgiving Dinner Menu for Kids
A fill-in Thanksgiving menu card for kids to write and decorate: a hollow-letter heading to color, lines for the chef's name and the date, sections for drinks, the main dish, three side dishes and dessert (each with a picture to color), and a box to draw the chef's special. The child interviews the cook, writes the menu and sets it on the table, a real job that makes kids part of the meal. Younger kids can draw the food instead.

About this worksheet
A fill-in Thanksgiving menu card for kids to write and decorate: a hollow-letter heading to color, lines for the chef's name and the date, sections for drinks, the main dish, three side dishes and dessert (each with a picture to color), and a box to draw the chef's special. The child interviews the cook, writes the menu and sets it on the table, a real job that makes kids part of the meal. Younger kids can draw the food instead. It matches first grade goals, roughly ages 6 to 7.
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.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
