Thanksgiving is right around the corner and you might be looking for fun ways to get your students learning this holiday season! I know my kiddos sure enjoy a little FUN during the holidays and with our brand new Thanksgiving SMART Pack you can still include educational content

Thanksgiving BUMP is a super fun way to work on multiplication facts. Using a paperclip spinner students spin and multiple the number they land on by 10. Then, they cover that number with one of their markers (coin, flat marble) and it’s the next student’s turn. The goal is to get four in a row covered. If a number is already covered by the opponents marker you can, ‘BUMP,’ them off. A fun follow up worksheet is provided to reinforce skip counting by 10’s.

Thanksgiving SPIN and FRAME is another fun game for younger students. Children spin with a paperclip spinner then frame the number in the ten frame below. Provide students with fun holiday candies, such as candy corn or candy pumpkins to use as counters. A simple follow-up worksheet is provided to show mastery.

Turkey Trot is a FUN game for students learning to count to 100! Students take turns rolling the dice, adding their number and moving their marker across the hundreds board. Land on a multiple of 10 and you get to roll again. First one to 100 wins! A simple follow up worksheet is included for students to work on number value.

Lots of silly turkeys will be made with this printable game. A follow-up worksheet provides students the opportunity to build addition equations, or work on number dot patterns.

Pumpkin Prayer Printables

September 19, 2016 By Valerie Mcclintick 1 Comment

Over the years, the Pumpkin Prayer has been one of our most popular Fall printables. This year I was so excited to update this resource to include all new graphics in color and black and white.

For those of you now familiar with the Pumpkin Prayer, it is a simple visual prayer you can use with your children during October. Many families will be carving pumpkins around Halloween and this is a special way you can connect each step of the pumpkin carving to an important heartfelt prayer for your children. If you are involved in your children’s ministry this makes a great take home booklet to remind children to let their lights shine before men. This free set is available in color or black and white and you can print it here on our sister site ChristianPreschoolPrintables.com

(HINT: Use alongside this adorable book)
