This was great to use with my class the week before Thanksgiving break. They enjoyed doing it with partners and it made them think!

Kids loved all of the challenges on this sheet. They were VERY engaged and it made for a fun activity right before Thanksgiving break.

Great resource for our class to use. They enjoyed working together to get it done.

I used this activity as an early finisher activity when students finished a test. When everyone was finished, I allowed the students to work in teams. They learned some things about Thanksgiving they did not know. I will be using this activity again.
Tiffany K. –
I use this with my students every year! I give them a piece of candy if they bring it back finished when they return from break! 🙂
Stephanie W. –
This was a little challenging (because many kids do not read the clues carefully), so it made for a great interactive project as kids used my Boxlight Board to search and present the answers.
Paige B. –
This had some challenges to it, so it took some problem solving by my students to get all of the clues. Very entertaining and nice activity for the week of Thanksgiving.

My second graders loved completing these activities during the week leading up to thanksgiving! It was a fun and engaging way for them to practice different skills. It was definitely a challenge for a lot of them because 2nd grade but it was just right
