Thanksgiving Language Arts Printables

October 26, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

There are lots of great language arts printables with a Thanksgiving theme, including lots of little books, writing activities and more. Let’s check out some Thanksgiving themed learning for the classroom or at home.

Fun a Day has a cute printable emergent reader Thanksgiving book (find more fall emergent readers books here), which features a turkey and different color words, so kids can color the bird appropriately on each page.

Printablee has a collection of 10 different printable Thanksgiving stories for different grade levels, and A Little Pinch of Perfect has a short printable book with pilgrims and Native Americans that could be the beginning of telling the Thanksgiving story.

Kindergarten Smarts has a printable sight word book with a holiday twist. There are a few different variations on the book for different readers, and you can get them from her Teachers Pay Teachers site.

Get printable Thanksgiving themed writing prompts with a coloring element at 123 Homeschool 4 Me. These pages include things like what kids would do if they had a pet turkey at Thanksgiving, what they know about the pilgrims and their favorite Thanksgiving foods. This reminds me of an activity the first or second graders always do at my daughter’s school, where they imagine a turkey has to disguise itself to avoid being eaten, then they draw it and write about it.

The Keeper of the Memories has fun color by sight word printables with a turkey, pie and cornucopia on them so kids can practice basic words while they color.

The Thanksgiving word search from PJs and Paint would be better for kids who’ve moved beyond emergent reading since it has several long words, but for kids who love word searches this is a good one.

Shark Week Learning for Kids

Shark Week generally happens in July, but any time is a good time to learn more about sharks.

First, start with some fun whale facts like these from Kids Craft Room. Here I learned about the dwarf lantern shark, which is the smallest shark and only grows to about 6-8 inches (about 15-20 cm) long. It also emits light. How cool is that?

Natural Beach Living has some great printable shark information guides, where kids can learn about different kinds of sharks, match the facts to the pictures, or print out doubles and do a shark memory game.

Living Life an Learning has some great shark activity pages including the parts of a shark, types of sharks, a crossword puzzle and more. Also check out their parts of a shark and word scramble download, and a life cycle worksheet.

Learn about how sharks float with this great activity from JDaniel4’s Mom.

Need more facts about sharks? This fact pact from The WOLFe PACK on Teacher Pay Teachers includes fact sheets, a printable flip book, informational text, vocabulary, comprehension questions and more.

Living Montessori Now has a great collection of shark themed activities with a Montessori inspired twist. You’ll find a shark roll and cover, shark phonics and lots more shark activities Deb has collected from all over the Internet.

Remember the “Sharknado” movie? A Few Shortcuts turned the combination of sharks and tornadoes into a fun science activity. You’ll need a bottle connector for this project but otherwise should have everything you need on hand. Use their template to make your sharks out of aluminum foil. So fun!

You can also do some shark themed coloring with these coloring pages from Encouraging Moms at Home. Or make a cool 3D shark with this template from korkotak. And there are tons of different shark crafts collected in this post from Kids Activities Blog.
