TURKEY IN DISGUISE
Having had four boys already go through elementary school, we’ve done our fair share of turkeys in disguise, especially because more than one grade level did the activity (not complaining because my boys always loved coming up with something new – even creating some at home just for fun).
Sometimes it can be hard to come up with an idea, so I thought I’d share what my boys have done.
As you can see we have turkeys disguised as Phantom of the Opera, Darth Vader, Captain America, Thanos, Hercules, Peter Pan, Goofy, Buzz Lightyear, Mickey Mouse, Minion, Rubble, Olaf, & Pinnochio. When I put these up with our Thanksgiving decorations, my four year old was so sad not to have one, so his older brother helped him make one as Spiderman!
Whether doing this activity in your classroom or at home, have fun and get creative! 🦃
