This Turkey Family
resource is perfect for engaging elementary English language learners with
family vocabulary. It introduces students to Thanksgiving themes, building
cultural awareness.
The
turkey family can be used to review the family-related words, helping students
practice terms like “mother,” “father,” “brother,” and “sister” in a fun,
memorable way using the printable flashcards.
Teachers
can create interactive activities around the turkeys, like naming family
members, describing them, or using simple sentences, boosting speaking
confidence by creating small cards on the templates provided.
The Turkey Family worksheets in the resource offer a great way to support both vocabulary building and holiday-themed learning. There are color words and then bind together and create a book.
By
engaging with written tasks, students build reading comprehension and writing
skills, which are crucial for language development. There are: color by number,
complete the family words, answer the yes/no questions.
Games
provide a playful way for students to repeatedly use family-related vocabulary
in context. As students
play, they need to speak and listen to each other, promoting language
production as they move along the board: It’s a blue feather. If the
students say the correct word, that feather card is available for that player to
take.
The
goal is that players get as many feathers. They will color the feathers on their
worksheet if they have the cards. They will continue playing until they get as
many cards possible. The winner is the one with the most feathers to color.
They
will complete their turkey on their worksheet, either mother, father, brother,
sister or baby, just one. They will make a craft with their turkey member by
adding the feathers and the person. Make a display in class.
