You will find an extended set of low-prep activities to pair with Turkey Trouble. Choose from crafts, sequencing activities, centers, and so much more.
You won’t have any “turkey trouble” preparing these activities. Choose which activities you would like students to complete and simply click print. We suggest laminating word wall activities and center items so you can reuse them next year. You may consider spacing activities out over the course of several days so your students can experience all of the fun activities this set has to offer.
We love that you can use so many of these activities in different settings. You can complete activities with students in a whole group setting after reading the book aloud. Students can also work in small groups through center rotations to complete activities. Read for ideas below.
Use the story sequencing cards in a pocket chart after reading Turkey Trouble with your students. Students can use the cards to retell the story to a partner once you’ve sequenced them as a whole group.
Pass out the character retelling sticks to students and have them retell the story by acting it out. This is sure to bring lots of laughter.
Complete the retelling hats or turkey craft as a whole group and use the pocket chart sequencing cards for a visual reminder.
Choose several activities that your students can rotate through in a structured time frame. The number center, race to the number, and CVC turkeys lend themselves nicely to this option.
Include a station with a graphic organizer where students can identify the story elements or show their favorite part of the story.
The turkey-directed drawing makes an ideal center station as well. Students can express their creativity and practice writing complete sentences to accompany their drawings.
We love the word wall/vocabulary activities as a weeklong center. Incorporate Turkey Trouble into your classroom writing center. Students can choose from differentiated activities to keep Turkey’s adventures fresh in their minds.
