Thanksgiving Literacy Activities and Resources for Kids

Last week’s Thanksgiving themed Discover & Explore was just full of so many wonderful Thanksgiving activities for kids! Because I just love integrating learning into everything, this week I’m excited to feature Thanksgiving literacy activities for children!

With so many fabulous Thanksgiving activities for kids linked up to last week’s Discover & Explore, you can pretty much find a Thanksgiving activity for any age and focusing on any skill you’d like. I’m always a fan of incorporating literacy learning into everything and was so excited to see so many language activities linked up! Not only are these Thanksgiving literacy activities great for home, but they’d work well in the classroom too!
