Turkey in Disguise – Thanksgiving Activity
A fun Thanksgiving writing activity to use with your students.
Looking for a fun Thanksgiving writing stimulus for your students? Why not have your students design a disguise for Terrance the turkey!
Students use their imagination by creating a disguise and an escape plan to save Terrance the turkey! Once done, extend this activity by having your students write a narrative text that includes Terrance, his disguise, and his escape plan!
This resource makes a great writing center activity leading up to Thanksgiving.
Our Save Terrance the Turkey – Thanksgiving Activity pairs nicely with this activity as well!
