Bilingual Thanksgiving Printables

 

It's Thanksgiving week! Are you crazy busy like me? This is the first year I'll be cooking the entire meal on my own (with help from my kids). If you're also running around planning, decorating, and cooking, you may be looking for a few downloads that you can just print off and give to your kids to keep them busy. Here are a few I've created over the years. 

Enjoy!

A Bilingual Thanksgiving Storybook

Boost your child's vocabulary and reading skills with this Thanksgiving storybook. Designed for kids PreK through 1st grade, this story lists things for which children often give thanks on this holiday, so the student will enjoy coloring while learning the words for "friends/amigos," "family/familia," "grandma/abuelita," and more. Just choose the book that best suits your needs:

The pages show items typically associated with Thanksgiving, so the student will enjoy coloring while learning the words for "corn/maĆ­z," "turkey/pavo," "harvest/cosecha" and more. Also available in three book format. 



Learn about acrostic poems with these Thanksgiving-themed acrostic poem writing pages!

There's also a blank page to allow children to use their own focus word.



While you are planning your menu for Thanksgiving, why not take the opportunity to turn this time into a teachable moment and spend some quality time with your kids? I've created these free Thanksgiving recipe cards (available in English and Spanish) so your child can write down your family's favorite recipes for the holiday.
