Turkeys are Hightailing it Out of Town!


Turkeys are always trying to get out of town before Thanksgiving. My students made their own terrified turkeys (from a picture I found online) and chose their worldly destinations. I snagged a clip art suitcase and reproduced it on cardstock. We used blank labels to sticker the suitcases with the names of our final destinations. We then added a picture on an index card of our turkeys doing something in that place. For example, this turkey in India is playing with a tiger.


We added to the theme with travel border and an “International News” sign I found in the local Dollar Tree’s teacher section.
