Special
Activities: We played the Turkey Feathers Game on the felt board. I had the children guess which color of feather was missing from the
turkey. I also explained that Chanukah starts the same day as
Thanksgiving, and she showed them how to spin the dreidel. Each preschooler
took a turn spinning it.
Craft: Thankfulness Chains. Materials: red, orange, yellow, green, and brown construction paper strips, glue, tape, crayons, and scissors. The preschoolers thought about what they were thankful for. Their caregivers wrote the suggestions on the strips and together they formed the strips into chains.
