Save the Turkey- Kindergarten Turkey/ Thanksgiving Activity

In this kindergarten turkey game, students will crack the sentence code using their Turkey Key Code to help them write and read the sentence. All sentences include sight words for the beginning of Kindergarten, color words and a CVC word (each vowel is used twice).

Step One: Place cards around the room with the same feather color attached or near it. The pictures you can place anywhere. I will be using Target Dollar Spot Labels because they stick to the wall, and I can place my feather inside. Near your picture, you will place the feather with the same color. I provide paper feathers but you can also buy them at Hobby Lobby.

Step Two: Give students the 10 sentences they need to solve, the key code and their turkey they need to save.

Step Three: Once students crack the sentence code and read it, they will look for the picture around the room that matches the sentence.

Step Four: Once students find the picture they will take the feathers to their seats and will collect all 10 different color feathers.

Step Five: Once they have all feathers they will glue them down in rainbow order and they have saved the turkey! He is now able to fly away and not be eaten for Thanksgiving.

This game is engaging for students because not only do they have a mission to complete but they get to get up and moving around the classroom.
