I love to use fun candy hearts or heart-shaped mini erasers to play this game!

Why Choose Valentine’s Day Bingo Sheets

There are multiple activities, crafts, and projects included in this pre-k science unit, meaning preparation will vary depending on what you choose to do with your students! First, check out some of the teacher resources that come in this unit.

Turkey Unit Overview

Our unit overview shows you a small glimpse of EVERYTHING that comes in this collection of engaging Thanksgiving science activities with suggestions on when and how to use each resource.

Turkey Science Unit Study Lesson Plans

These week-long lesson plans provide you with an outline of when and how to use all of the materials in this unit. The lesson plans are merely a suggestion to help you get started since we know that everyone fits science into their school day or week differently. Choose what is best for you and your students using the lesson plans and the provided unit overview.

Turkeys Science Unit Home Letter

Parents love knowing what their child is learning about at school and students love to share with their families! Use this provided home letter to print (they come two-to-a-page,) cut, and send home with your students to clue families into the latest happenings in pre-k science.

Teacher Guide for Pre-K Turkey Science Unit

How much do you already know about turkeys? Not too much? Well, that’s okay! That’s why each one of our science units comes with a teacher guide! Our Turkey Teacher Guide is filled with facts and information about turkeys to get you up to speed before you start to teach the unit to your students. Plus, it’s always good to have extra fun facts for those kids that will be begging for more! 

Science Center Ideas and Science Questions

It’s hard to keep your science center materials new and engaging for your students. Use our suggested ideas and questions to make an interactive center that goes along perfectly with these Thanksgiving science activities! Plus, we provide you with curated lists of questions to spark discussion, creativity, and critical thinking in your littlest learners. You can use questions from our Turkey-specific questions list or our general “Science Talk” questions list.

Collections of Turkey Songs, Videos, and Books

In your download, you’ll receive curated lists of songs, videos, and books that can be used with your students throughout the science unit. You can pull from these lists anytime you need to start a new lesson, fill some time, or transition to another activity! Best of all, the lists are clickable and take you right to the link to watch, listen, or purchase the book.

Turkey Facts PowerPoint and Posters

Our Turkey Facts PowerPoint can be displayed on your screen/board. Also included are the Turkey Facts Posters that match the PowerPoint and can be printed, laminated, displayed, and saved for years to come. Students will love learning fun facts about turkeys. And don’t forget, if you need some more background knowledge or have kids that want to know even more about turkeys, make sure to check out the teacher guide in the unit for more information!

Nonfiction Turkey Emergent Reader

After introducing turkeys to your students with the Turkey Facts PowerPoint and Posters, use this “What Can Turkeys Do?” emergent reader to help students identify the most important facts about turkeys. Filled with real-life pictures, this emergent reader can be used in whole-group or small-group settings and is perfect to place in your reading center for students to explore on their own. Kids love taking their turkey emergent readers home to read to their families. 

Parts of a Turkey Posters and Worksheets

Teach students all about the different parts of turkeys with these posters and worksheets. The posters include both real-life and clipart options and come with matching labeling worksheets, plus fun glyphs to have students review the parts of a turkey while also practicing their listening skills!

Life Cycle of a Turkey Posters

These posters are perfect for teaching your young students all about the life cycle of a turkey. With real-life and clipart options you can use the different stage definition cards to have students put the life cycle in order after reviewing the posters that show the entire cycle. Students will especially love getting to make a fun hat to show what they know after learning about the turkey life cycle. Your students will have so much fun making this turkey hat/worksheet activity, they won’t even realize that they’re learning.

Turkey Fingerplay 

Our youngest learners love songs and rhymes! This turkey fingerplay will have your students singing, dancing, and smiling each time you do it! I love to use fingerplays as transitions throughout the day after the kids get the hang of them. 

Question of the Week

With your Pre-K Turkey Science Unit download, you’ll also receive a Question of the Week header. I love to start every unit off with a question that piques the interest and curiosity of my students. The kids also love to go home and ask the same question to their families and report back the next day. The question of the week is a great discussion starter and can also be a good way to tie in graphing!

Turkey Shape Craft

With simple directions and materials, students will love making this turkey shape craft to go along with the turkey science unit! You will love how cute these crafts come out, perfect for a November bulletin board or to send home as a Thanksgiving decoration. You’ll also love that you can squeeze in a quick lesson about 2D shapes while making this craft.

Turkey STEM Centers

After learning about turkeys all week, give students a chance to explore and create on their own with these turkey STEM challenges. Students can make a “turkey trap” with materials like empty boxes, pipe cleaners, and tape. Students can also explore whether or not they think a feather will sink or float. These centers come with detailed instructions, including critical thinking questions to ask your students and recording sheets.

Definition Posters

It is always important for students to gain an understanding of the different vocabulary words that they’ll be hearing throughout the unit when we introduce a new topic, which is why I love these posters! Use these definition posters to teach students the simplified definitions of words related to turkeys that you’ll be referring to during the week. With real-life photos, these posters are one of the first things added to my “print, laminate, and save” pile! 

Word Wall Cards

Display the words that you’ll be using while discussing turkeys in different places around the classroom. These word wall cards can be hung up on the board, put in a pocket chart, or put on a ring to allow students to review and familiarize themselves with them.

Turkey Facts or Animal Research Craft

If you’re interested in a craft that has more steps and takes a little bit more time to make, or you’re looking for a way to tie research into this unit, then this Turkey Facts or Research Craft is for you! Use our provided template and directions to help students create this turkey project. Then, if you have students that need a bit more of a challenge, you can use one of the turkey facts or turkey research options for students to add to their craft. With several different options, this project has a little something for everyone!

Five Little Turkeys Emergent Reader

Students will love counting down from five with this fun emergent reader. You can use this as a whole group activity or in your small groups, and it’s a great way to squeeze some math in as well as reading. It’s also a great little chant/song to use during transition times or downtime throughout the week.

Turkey and Turkey Facts Circle Maps

Circle maps are a type of graphic organizer and can be used with drawings or words. I love to make one as a whole group at the start of the unit and then again at the end to see how much the kids have learned. They are also great for your older students to use as a starting point when collecting facts and information about turkeys.

Turkeys Can, Have, Are Activity 

After learning about turkeys, have students complete this Turkeys Can, Have, Are activity by identifying what turkeys can do, what turkeys have, and what turkeys are. This can be done as a whole group activity, as individual work, or a mix of both. 

Writing Center Cards and Paper

After purchasing the unit, you’ll find writing materials to place in a center throughout the week-long unit or to even use as a whole group activity. You’ll receive horizontal and vertical papers with and without lines, plus writing cards in both lower and uppercase letters, with pictures so that your young students can identify the words. This is a great way to spark creativity and practice vocabulary and I love to see the drawings and stories (verbal or written) that the students come up with! There are so many different ways to use and incorporate these writing materials into your classroom.

Turkey Bingo Game

Need an easy and fun Thanksgiving activity for that short holiday week? Look no further than this Turkey Bingo Game! With a life cycle option and a sillier “turkey jobs” option, use these bingo games to reinforce what students have learned about the turkey life cycle or to have some fun in the classroom! The bingo boards and cards come in color and black & white. I love using bingo as a fun Friday activity, during my holiday parties, or just because! Bingo is also easy to have a parent volunteer come in and run. I love to use counters as the pieces to cover up the pictures on the bingo cards, but lots of people use paper or anything else they have on hand.

Thankfully, early learners LOVE to count and it’s an easy skill to teach – one you can reinforce all day, every day.  Walking down the hallway to the cafeteria with your class? Count the number of classrooms you pass or how many stairs you have to travel up or down.

When we find themes that resonate with our students, it helps them understand and retain what we are teaching. Looking for a fun way to practice number sense with your little learners? Check out this penguin counting craft that can easily be adapted to fit various themes. To further their learning of numbers, take a look at this counting book idea with stickers. 

Decorate your classroom with these fun number posters, and your students will be recognizing and ordering numbers in no time! Incorporate counting into your sensory bins with activities like this Spider Counting Mat Activity.  Or integrate counting into your whole group or read aloud time by enjoying one of these Counting Books for Little Learners.

Playing math games to build number sense is a great way to get kids learning without realizing they’re learning!

Counting Puzzles

These FREE counting puzzles for preschoolers are the perfect activity for strengthening counting and building number sense.  Your learners will first count the number of beads on a string and then the number of buttons in the jar before matching them to the written number. 

These number sense counting puzzles will make a fantastic addition to your math center!  Students can complete them independently, and you can check them at the end. Or use them in small groups during math time to help students who need a more hands-on approach.  They also can enhance any whole group lesson by passing out a puzzle piece per student and together finding each puzzle piece for every number in turn. 

Inside You’ll Find:

• 21 Beads and Button Puzzles Numbers 0-20

These fantastic number sense puzzles for little learners come in both black and white AND color options. Have your students color in the black and white version to create a more personalized set!

Getting Your Beads & Buttons Counting Puzzles Ready

Prepping your free number puzzles is quick and easy.  You will need: 

• Paper or cardstock
• Laminator
• Laminating pouches
• Scissors or paper cutter
• Rubber bands for storage

I recommend printing the number puzzles onto cardstock and laminating for both durability and longevity.  This also will allow students to use a dry erase marker on the counting puzzles for an added modification. 

Once you have printed and laminated the puzzles, trim to the edges and cut on the two curved lines, separating each puzzle piece.  For easiest storage, we recommend using rubber bands and keeping 3-4 puzzles together.  Once they are together in sets, store in a quart-sized Ziploc bag or pencil case for quick and easy access.

Using Counting Puzzles with Little Learners

This simple yet effective number sense game has students counting from 1-20 multiple times, as well as identifying a quantity and matching it to the corresponding number which cultivates one-to-one correspondence. 

For first-time use, give students only two puzzles at a time.  As students show mastery, increase the number of puzzles they receive at a time to improve sorting abilities.  

For students who may struggle with inaccurate counting, have them use a dry erase marker to cross out each bead and button after it has been counted. This will help them to slow down and be conscious of the items they are counting, increasing accuracy and understanding. Using counting puzzles for a hands-on math game will build their confidence while they’re having fun!

Summer First to 20 Game contains four different math mats, as well as a DIY number cube.

Getting Summer First to 20 Ready

You will want to print out enough math mats for your students to complete. My students always completed this game during math centers so I always had five printed and ready to go. Whatever your magic number is, have that many printed.

It is recommended that you print on cardstock and laminate so that they can be used for years to come. You will need to print out the dice and glue together. I find that it does better when also printed on cardstock.

Doing Summer First to 20 Game

Each student playing the game, will need to have a math mat, counters, and a number cube (or dice). If students are working in pairs or small groups, I always encourage each student to roll the dice before starting. The highest (or lowest) number gets to be the first person to roll.

The first person will roll the dice. My daughter’s number was four so she placed four counters on her math mat.

The next person will then roll the dice and place counters on their mat. This will continue until the lucky winner fills up their board to twenty!

Another variation is to try skip counting. This student has rolled a two and can now put counters in two at a time.

Get the paint ready for the kids to use by putting it out onto a plate or something the can press their thumb onto.

It also helps to get the tape ready by rolling it into pieces, ready to use to stick the tree trunk template down. Masking tape works best for this.

Doing the Spring Fingerprint Tree Craft :

The students will start by taping their tree trunk template (made from their hand) onto a white piece of paper using rolled up pieces of tape.

Next, make the green thumbprints for grass. Be sure to make thumbprints close together along the edge of the template.

After the shape is outlined with thumbprints and there are prints all around the paper, let the paint dry.

Spring CVC Word Puzzles

Spring CVC Word Puzzles contains twenty complete puzzles. There are four different puzzles for all five vowels.

Getting Spring CVC Word Puzzles Ready

It is recommended that you print this resource on cardstock and laminate so that it can be used for years to come. When cutting out something so many pages, I always use my paper cutter. This makes the job quick and easy!

For storage, I recommend using these plastic pencil holders or ziploc baggies. This will keep all of the cards in one place, while also keeping them from getting mixed up.

Supply List

• Spring CVC Puzzles (download below!)
• Cardstock
• Laminator
• Paper Cutter
• Ziploc Baggies or Plastic Pencil Boxes

Doing Spring CVC Word Puzzles

After laying out all of the pieces, students can choose a spring puzzle piece that has a picture on it. This students chose the letter p.

They will then search for the letter that the picture starts with. Pot starts with the letter p so they placed this puzzle piece after the picture puzzle piece.

They continued this until the puzzle had all four puzzle pieces.

If you think that your students will be overwhelmed by having all twenty puzzle at once, start small. You can give students one puzzle per vowel. As they master those, you can add another and then another until all twenty puzzles are out.

Getting Mother’s Day Flower Gift Ready

I love when activities involve little or no prep and this one totally fits the bill! Literally, all that you will need to do is press “print”. How awesome is that?!

Everything is ready to go – all that is left is having your students put together these sweet gifts for their moms!

Using Mother’s Day Flower Gift in the Classroom

This activity is something that can easily be done in one sitting or can be spread out throughout the week. There are three different pages that will need to be completed in order to have a finished gift. First students will need to color the mom flower.

Next, you will want them to decorate the flower pot. I always recommend that my students draw a picture of them with their mom or even a fun memory of the two of them so that way there is something special on there.

Students will then write all of the special reasons why they love their mom. Each petal will get a different reason.

After everything has been colored, students will cut out all three pieces. When cutting the mom flower, you will want them to cut the lines in between each petal until they reach the inside circle. This way they can easily lift the petal and see what is written below once it is finished.

Lastly, students will glue all of the pieces together to get their finished product. To my the flower more stable, you can glue (or tape) a pipe cleaner to the back of the stem and flower. This will give the flower so extra support.

How To Play Christmas Bingo

I created this festive Christmas Bingo game as another way to have fun with your children or students around the holidays.  It’s ideal for younger students since it is so visually based, but also has the written descriptions. That means you can adapt this for early ages and grade levels from preschool to 1st or 2nd grades.

Inside You’ll Find:

• 30 Christmas Bingo Game Boards with pictures in color
• 30 Christmas Bingo Game Boards with pictures in black & white
• 30 Christmas Bingo Game Boards with pictures AND words in color
• 30 Christmas Bingo Game Boards with pictures AND words in black & white
• Teacher Calling Cards, in both color and black & white

Materials Needed for Christmas Bingo:

• paper or card stock
• laminating pouches
• laminator
• paper cutter
• manipulatives (counters, goldfish, rocks, buttons, M&Ms, coins, mini erasers, etc.)

Getting Christmas Bingo Ready

Once you purchase and download the Christmas bingo game, you can choose which type of board you’ll be using. Print the Christmas bingo boards, either with words or without, in either color or black & white. I recommend laminating them to make them last for years to come. Lastly, you can print and cut out the teacher calling cards and put them into a plastic bag or a small container.

To play Christmas bingo, find some manipulatives for students to cover the spots on their board with. You can use seasonal things like holiday or winter mini erasers, jingle bells, or red and green mini pom-poms, but you can also use paper, counters, coins, dry-erase markers, M&Ms, or bingo dabbers if you’re using the black & white versions.

After that, everything is ready to go – all that is left is playing with your students! After you’re done playing, store the boards in a ziploc bag, folder, or in your December files to play next year during the Christmas season.

If you need to use up more time, you can easily print them on black and white to allow your children to color in the images as they play the game.  This is an ideal way to have them practice fine motor skills.  They will love seeing their own unique take on the images, and you’ll love being able to give them something to occupy their time while they learn and have fun.

Using Christmas Bingo in the Classroom

You have many options when it comes to playing this Christmas bingo game! You can play traditional bingo, calling cards until students cover 5 in a row, or you can make it more of a challenge by calling cards until students can create different shapes on their boards, like “T”s, “L”s, or even filling the entire board. Bingo is an engaging game for the whole class to play and is a great thing to do when you have parent volunteers in the classroom too! You can make it even more exciting by giving winners something from your prize box or a Christmas-themed gift!
