Turkey in disguise for ESL students in Thanksgiving

LINK to the resource: 
As I was looking for creating a new Thanksgiving  product I came across the cute Turkey in disguise clip art from Scrappin Doodles. I started looking for the Turkey in disguise book, but I just found this poem with no author.
My name is Tom Turkey
And I’m afraid as I can be.
I’m wearing my disguise
So you won’t catch me.

And there’s an audio book video on  YOUTUBE:     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjXTNlW2qaU (Turkey Trouble).
If you are reading the book and have more advanced students, there is a free product at the Teacherspayteachers.com store.


I thought that it would be good to review the community helpers, jobs and occupations and made several flashcards. Review the vocabulary words using the flashcards.
As many of you have commented that you liked the labeling the flashcards activity. Here is another one.

Play BINGO! With the flashcards. Hand in the 3x3 bingo grid to each student and have them write any of the 20 community helpers, jobs and occupations words. Start call the words with the flashcards and the students cross out the words they hear as you show the flashcard. The winner is the first one to cross out all the words.

Place all the flashcards on the board. Have the students notice that all the turkeys are wearing something or have an object with them.  In an allotted amount of time such as 5 or 10 minutes have them list all the objects. The winner is the one that list the most objects. Have that student dictate them and write them on the board as the class crosses them out. Then, have the class dictate words that haven’t been said.

I created two game board to be used in game stations. Print them and make different groups to play the games.

I place an opened clip behind each character to be used as markers.

 Demonstrate some useful phrases for playing the game: It’s my turn (by pointing to yourself) It’s your turn (by pointing to another person)
I made several flashcards to warm up the phrases that are most common during the game. There’s the flashcard for roll the die, start, finish, move, don’t fight. Introduce those words and leave the flashcards on the board as a reminder.

Then, I created a turkey to be disguised
I like to encourage creativity in the classroom to engage my students and to make learning fun and to express the  language that they know. The turkey can be anything, there are hats, shoes, and more to create a very fun disguised turkey. Plase send me pictures of the turkey!
And for some older kids they can write a text. My sister in law did this one. 

 I thought about your students and managed to come up with  the color by numbers pages!
Or something easier, just coloring.
