My Thanksgiving Dinner - Writing Center

(Thanksgiving Crafts)

This is a fun writing/cutting Thanksgiving activity for your students. There is a “dinner plate” you can either keep on the paper or cut out and glue on a separate piece of construction paper or any paper of your choice. 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.
