Turkey Glyph

Here is a turkey glyph based on an activity from Little Giraffes Thanksgiving Teaching Ideas.

The 4-page PDF has a turkey glyph to color and cut out, a page of feathers, a Can You Find My Turkey? writing page and a glyph key. Students color the turkey’s beak, feet, body, eyes and feathers based on their answers about themselves.

Ways to use it

• Have students make the glyph by following the key.
• Display the turkeys and have students find each other’s turkey from the clues.
• Have students complete the writing page about themselves.
• Count and compare how many turkeys have each beak or feet color.
• Make a class graph from the glyph answers.
• Use it as a get-to-know-you activity in November.
