Thanksgiving Fun Frames will get your students thinking about Thanksgiving, writing details about themselves on a fun printable, and participating in classroom discussions with other students. There are three printables included with this packet:
The first printable includes questions about Thanksgiving. Students can answer the questions and then color in the printable as they wish. You can then display the various printables your students have created on the classroom wall.
The second printable is a frames-only page with the labels removed that you can use to enter your own questions about Thanksgiving, the fall or autumn season, things we are grateful for, the harvest, the month of November, or any other topic you choose. Students can color in the printables when they have finished answering the questions you have given them.
The third printable is a coloring page based on the question-and-answer printables.
