Literacy Snack Idea Catch A Turkey + Free Printable

this article (and most) on primary playground, does contain affiliate links that we do earn a commission off of.  clicking these links does not cost you any extra but helps our website to keep great articles and freebies like this coming your way.

With Thanksgiving quicking approaching, we just have to read a story about a turkey! For this week’s literacy snack idea, we’re reading, How To Catch A Turkey, by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton.

It’s a cute book about a turkey that doesn’t realize he’s about to be in the Thanksgiving school play and decides to run away. The whole school attempts to catch him and he ends up back on stage having a blast.

For our snack today, we’re making a turkey!

Ingredients

Each student will need

1 Oreo cookie

1 candy corn

2 small candy eyeballs

9-10 pretzel sticks

Assemble

To make the turkey, have the students carefully twist their cookie just a bit to loosen the 2 sides. Next, have them place in their pretzel sticks in between the two cookie sides into the cream filling. It’s easiest for them to do this when it’s laying down. Last, have the students put on the candy eyes and candy corn beak. Cute and easy little turkey!

Today's literacy snack read-aloud is Hey, Little Ant. What would you do if the ant you were about to step on looked up and started talking? Would you stop and listen? What if your friends saw you hesitate? That’s what happens in this funny, thought-provoking book. Originally a song by a father-daughter team, this conversation between two creatures, large and small, is bound to inspire important discussions. It might even answer that classic childhood question: To squish or not to squish?Come and see the snack idea and grab the printable to go along with the book here primaryplayground.net/literacy-snack-idea-ants-free-printable/ ...
