About this resource
Feed the turkey! Cut open the turkey's mouth, pick a card, and feed that many pompoms (or paper food) to a hungry turkey. This print-and-go Thanksgiving counting game has a big turkey face mat, number cards 1 to 10 in three levels, record pages for circling the number and marking an X on that many pieces of food, counting pages, a writing page, and a make-your-own-turkey cut and glue craft.
How To Play
1. Cut out the mouth of the turkey mat and tape the mat to the front of a box.
2. Pick a card. Count out that many pompoms (or small paper balls).
3. Feed them to the turkey one at a time, saying each number.
4. Record: circle the number and mark an X on that many pieces of food.
Three Levels Of Cards
- Level 1: dot cards, 1 to 10 (count the dots)
- Level 2: numeral cards, 1 to 10 (read the number)
- Level 3: number word cards, one to ten (read the word)
Each set has 10 cards, 30 cards in all. Start a child on dots and move up when feeding is easy.
