Thanksgiving

Please share a pictures, story or how you are doing with Mrs. Saj. I would like to create a virtual parade for us all out of your float or balloon creations so please send those when you have them done. Lets see how big our parade will be!

Follow the instructions on the tutorial video. Create a turkey. Some things that will be different. Use a piece of brown paper to create a cone by rolling it up. Also different from this video, you will use a glue stick or bottle glue to glue your items on and together.


Play a game of Thanksgiving Charades. Use the pictures or create your own Thanksgiving version of Charades. The pictures next to this represent some ideas that you can use to play/act out for your family. This is a fun game to play with your family on Holidays.


Play a Game of Turkey Tag

Create your turkey pins by decorating them with items from your bag. You may want to paint, color, or leave your pin blank. You can put patterns, add eyes, beak and gobble, it up to you. I want to see what you come up with.

Game Rules:

The goal is to be the last person standing with at least one turkey pin still on. To start, each player can stick up to 3 clothespins anywhere on their clothing that they want. Once everyone is ready, you can have them spread out and pick beginning positions for the tag game that is about to ensue. Each player tries to remove the other players’ turkey pins without losing their own. Once a player has grabbed a turkey pin off of someone else, they can just drop it in the grass. If it’s the last (third) pin of that particularly player to be removed, they are out. The person that collected the most turkey's at the end of the game wins.

Here is a quick and easy pumpkin pie recipe that you can make at home with your family.


Here is last years Detroit's Thanksgiving Day Parade , watch through to get some ideas on what you would do to create your own float or balloon. As a family create your own float or balloon. Draw your float or balloon out and share with me what you did. Think about costumes, colors, and materials. What would be your floats theme and title be? Be creative and show me what you came up.

Listen to this awesome book to learn more about how the Balloons in Thanksgiving Day Parades were created. A little history in a fun way!
