Roll-a-Turkey Preschool Thanksgiving Game

Preparing this activity takes less than five minutes. Cut a turkey body out of brown foam. If you’d rather not free hand, then trace your child’s foot for the body shape. Then cut two feet and one beak out of the orange foam.

We used ten feathers for our turkey and practiced counting as we played. If your child is working on teen numbers, then add 2o feathers to the set instead.

Draw the different body parts on the cube with the permanent marker. We drew a feather on two sides of the cube.

As kids are rolling and creating their turkeys they can also practice naming the different body parents and make patterns with the feathers. Partners can play this game together by taking turns rolling the cube.

Continue the fun and learning with these hands-on roll and color turkey math activities. Depending on your goals kids can practice color recognition, shape recognition, matching sets, matching numbers, addition and more.
