How to Use the Thanksgiving Letter Search Activity:

For this letter recognition activity, your students will pick a turkey card and identify the lowercase letter, capital letter, or the picture’s beginning sound. 

 

Next, your kids will search for the matching lowercase or capital letter on the pumpkin pie. 

 

When your kids find the matching letter, they will color it in with a crayon or mark it with a bingo dauber.

 

 

If your students are using the mat, they can cover the letters with white pom poms or cotton balls to look like whipped cream.

 

Your students will continue to pick letter or picture cards until they have found all the matching letters on the mat or worksheet. 

 

This Thanksgiving Letter Search Activity is a fun way for your preschoolers and kindergarteners to work on letter recognition and visual discrimination skills this November.
