Learning Activities for Thanksgiving School Days

Around the holidays, we like to take a break from some of our more traditional schooling methods and pull out all the stops holiday style. We’ve found some fabulous worksheets, activities, and games for Thanksgiving that allow us to keep the learning going while we also enjoy the holidays. We call it “Thanksgiving School” and we will also have “Christmas School” next month. It’s a tradition my kids talk about and enjoy.

I’ve put together a list of some of our favorite learning activities for Thanksgiving school days and organized them here by subject and category. We have Thanksgiving Activities for math, science, language arts, alphabet recognition, games, preschool, crafts, coloring pages and more!
