The Thanksgiving themed graphics on each analogy task card will grab your students' attention and help keep them engaged while they practice and review their way to mastery and expand their knowledge of analogies. Whether you have students working together on analogy logic and critical thinking or practicing independently, task card activities are a great tool for helping them maintain focus and attention to the task at hand.

PLEASE NOTE: The analogies in this card set are identical to those in some my other holiday-themed sets of vocabulary task cards. Only the clipart has been changed to match the Thanksgiving season. 

To prepare these Thanksgiving Analogies Task Cards:

For traditional task cards: Print one copy of each card page. Laminate for durability to use year after year. Print enough copies of the recording sheets for each student in your class. B&W, PPT, and Google Slides versions are included for versatility.
