Our no-prep Thankful Turkeys Thanksgiving Craft & Writing Activity combines creativity with essay writing in a hassle-free, engaging activity. Just print the student pages and have students start by brainstorming, working through the writing process, and then making the turkeys to hold their final essay.

What You’ll Get

This Thankful Turkeys Writing Project includes everything you need to have students complete their writing - just add construction paper:

  • Directions & Brainstorming Page
  • Preplanning Page
  • Drafting Page with Editing Reminders
  • Final Draft Paper

Why Teachers ❤️ It!

Teachers can easily differentiate this activity to meet their students' needs, allowing them to write sentences, a paragraph, or even multiple paragraphs depending on their level.

My students worked on these essays right before our holiday break, keeping them engaged and learning until the very end. However, many teachers have used this project earlier in the month, displaying students' writing for parent conferences.

The best part? Students love making these thankful turkeys! You'll find yourself using it year after year.
