Games:
The children will have fun gobbling like turkeys as
they play this rainy-day game. To start the game, have one child leave
the room and another child hide a small stuffed turkey. When the child
returns to the room, the children give clues by gobbling softly when
he/she is far away from the turkey and gobbling loudly when close. Once
the turkey is found, another child takes a turn finding Mr. Turkey. Reading:
Draw a turkey on a piece of sturdy paper. Cut several
feathers out of various colors of construction paper. Program each
turkey shape with a capital letter. Program several of the feathers with
its matching lowercase letter. Make a turkey for each letter you want to
review. Have your children find all the lowercase letter feathers that
match the capital letter on the turkey.
