Number Count & Match Activity | Thanksgiving-Themed:

The thanksgiving-themed number cards have a different amount of thanksgiving items from 1-10 on each one. The students will count how many items are on each task card and then attach a clothespin to the matching number on the right.

- Thanksgiving Craft (My Thanksgiving Dinner): This is a fun writing/cutting Thanksgiving activity for your students.

Once that is done there are #3 different pages of #30 different food items that your students can cut out and choose what they want their thanksgiving dinner to look like. Once they have cut the pieces out they will then glue the foods they want for their thanksgiving dinner onto the dinner plate.

Once your students have chosen what food they want for their thanksgiving dinner and glued it onto their plate they will practice tracing the words for each food item. Once they have cut out the words they need they can glue them to the paper I created or any blank paper of your choice. Then once that is done have them glue the words to the bottom of their plate paper and display their art in the classroom or send it home to parents.

Or if you have some independent writers you can have them write the words independently without the last step of tracing and gluing.

These are both community helper themed file folder games. One game has shape and color matching practice and the other file folder game has number recognition practice as well as one-to-one correspondence practice.

I would print and laminate all the pages for both activities.

For the number Fire Truck file folder game attach the firetruck pages that have numbers on each one onto the filefolder. Once that is done cut out the firetrucks that have the borders and a different number of dots on each one. Once that is done I would attach a velcro dot to the front of each firetruck that has a number on it as well as the back of each one that have different numbers of dots on each one. You and your students can use this product multiple times.

For the shape/color matching file folder game I would do the same thing. Print and laminate all the firetruck pages. Once that is done attach the #2 pages of shape/color firetrucks that do not have the borders around each separate firetruck to the file folder. Then cut the firetrucks with borders on them out and create fire truck counting cards. Once that is done put a velcro dot on each firetruck that's attached to the file folder and then place a velcro dot on the back of each firetruck counting card. This makes this game easy to reuse for different themes and activities that you do throughout the year!

I hope you and your students enjoy this product as mach as I enjoyed making it!
