Do you need more preschool and kindergarten phonemic awareness activities for Thanksgiving?? These little turkeys are here to help. This syllable sort can be used as a stand alone activity or you can incorporate it into a sensory bin.
To prepare this activity, all you have to do is print, laminate and cut out the turkeys and their feathers. Each turkey has 5 corresponding feathers representing one, two or three syllable Thanksgiving or fall related words. The one syllable words include corn, bird, beans, leaf, and hay. The two syllable words include pilgrim, turkey, squirrel, pumpkin and scarecrow. And the three syllable words include November, Mayflower, sunflower, family and apple pie.
You can add magnets to the back of the turkeys and feathers so that students can easily manipulate the components on a cookie sheet or magnetic white board without the feathers sliding around.
The feathers are a perfect addition to a turkey themed sensory bin. Add beans, crafting feathers, picture card feathers (really anything fall related!) to a deep tray or sensory bin. Students can hunt for the picture card feathers and place them on the corresponding turkey.
That’s it! These turkeys will add some Thanksgiving fun to your literacy centers. If you would like a set of your own, you can find the Turkey Syllable Sorting Activity in my shop by clicking the button below.
