About this resource
Description
Counting dots on a die is a quick, playful way for young children to practice numbers 1 to 6. This roll a turkey thanksgiving activity turns that practice into a Thanksgiving race: Preschool, Kindergarten and 1st Grade students roll a die, count the dots and color a part of their very own turkey.
Each player gets a Turkey Mat with a big turkey to color. A child rolls the die, counts the dots and finds that number on the Roll Chart, which shows the dots, the number, a picture of the turkey part and how many of that part a turkey needs. A 1 is the head, a 2 is the beak, a 3 is the wattle, a 4 is a wing, a 5 is a leg and a 6 is a feather. The child colors that part, and the first player to color all eleven parts wins. There is nothing to cut out for the game, and a printable paper die is included. This preschool following directions activity also builds turn-taking, and a Kindergarten practice worksheet asks children to count the dots on eight dice and write each number.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with prep tips, steps and an extension idea
- A Roll Chart that matches each number to a turkey part
- A Turkey Mat for each player to color
- A printable paper die
- A Kindergarten practice worksheet: count the dots and write the number
- A finished turkey answer key, plus a practice answer key
Why Kids Love It
- Every roll brings a turkey one step closer to done.
- Racing a friend makes counting practice exciting.
- Coloring the turkey turns math time into art time.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Play one round together first and count each roll out loud. Keep the roll a turkey thanksgiving activity in a math center during November, or play it at a family table on Thanksgiving Day. Hang the finished turkeys on a bulletin board, and send the practice page home for review.
