{FREE} Thanksgiving File Folder Games!!

By -

Thanksgiving is this week!!  So, my Thanksgiving present to you is a file with three free Thanksgiving File Folder games!!   I hope you and your little one enjoy them!!


Check out these fun games:






 To create your Thanksgiving File Folder Games:

1.   Go to the Thanksgiving File Folder Games file at my Teachers Notebook shop.  If you're not a member yet, you will need to register for free.  (After you register for free, you can access many free and inexpensive educational files!)

2.  Download the file {FREE!!} and print out the games you want!  Glue the pieces to a file folder games according to these directions (these instructions are also included in the file):

  • Matching:  To prepare, cut the pictures out on page 3 and cut each picture in half along the black line.  Glue one half of each picture onto the inside of your file folder.  Let your child match the puzzles together.  If you are making this for a younger child, glue the whole picture (page 4) onto the inside of the folder, and let your child match the pieces onto the same picture.  (Clip art for this file is from KPM Doodles and used with permission.) 
  • Feed the Pilgrims:   To prepare, glue pages 5-6 to the inside of the folder and cut out the corn groups on pages 7-8.  Let your child count the corn and match it to the number on each set of pilgrims.
  • Turkey Feathers:  To prepare, glue pages 9-10 (or cut out the turkeys and glue them) to the inside of a file folder.  Cut out the feathers on page 11, and let your child match the feathers to each color description on the turkeys.  If your child is not reading yet, trace the color words with the appropriate color marker or colored pencil, and let your child match the colors.

Laminating the pieces and the finished file folders will help them last much longer!  Tape an envelope onto the outside of the file folder to store movable pieces in.



Please feel free to share these files by pinning, linking to this page, or linking to my Teachers Notebook shop.  Or stop by my Facebook page and say, “Hi!”   Also, I love feedback!  Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments!!  

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving season!!





I may share at any of these parties!

Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

By -

Update: "Elephant toothpaste" is a science experiment that I used to do with my high school students.  It is a strong multi-sensory demonstration that goes great with a lot of chemistry concepts. It is also very popular with preschoolers and homeschoolers!  The internet loves it too! It has now been read by more than 3.9 million people! This was the post that started the trend on science activity sites across the internet and "irl!"  Thank you for being here...I hope you enjoy it as well!  💕  This exciting science experiment works great in a discussion on reactions, as a demonstration, or as an actual experiment. We've also done seasonal twists with "elephant toothpaste" like making it in a pumpkin and using it for " reindeer toothpaste !" To use it as a science project, perform it once with your child, then ask your child what might happen if you changed the amounts or left out an ingredient.  Any time you experiment

Kind Words Sensory Lesson Friendship Activity

This sensory lesson includes a kindness activity for kids that is short and sweet,  and makes teaching kindness a beautiful thing! Learning to use kind words with our friends is one friendship lesson that I think we can never cover enough...kids always need reminding (sometimes adults do too)!  You will need these simple supplies for the kindness activity: cotton balls, course sandpaper, cup, Should I Share My Ice-Cream by Mo Willems Directly teaching good friendship skills, like using kind words, serves two purposes: 1- You can refer to the lesson when someone forgets or needs reminding, and 2- These skills are not intuitive for all preschoolers. This is a perfect age to bring empathy and kindness to their attention and help them cultivate these skills! You can use this lesson plan exactly as I did it with our kiddos, or adapt it to fit your group! 1- Read  Should I Share My Ice-Cream  by Mo Willems.   {Image below is an Amazon Affiliate Link:} D

Crazy Cool Giraffe Science Experiment

Do you know what color giraffe skin is? Today we're using a capillary action science experiment to make our own giraffe skins in this fun giraffe science experiment project! (Read on...I'll tell you the color in a moment! AND I have a few more fun giraffe facts at the end! Anyway, go on and make a guess before you see the answer!) Fun Spot  Giraffe  Fact:  There are four different giraffe species:  the Masai Giraffe, the Rothschild Giraffe, the Somali Giraffe, and the Nigerian Giraffe.  Each has its own unique spot pattern.  Even more unique, every single individual giraffe has a different spot design.  Just like fingerprints on people and stripes on a zebra, spots on a giraffe are unique in every individual! Giraffe skin is mostly grey. (Were you right?) It's also really tough and thick.  The coat is a shade of tan with brown spots or patches.  Male giraffes actually get darker as they get older! To make our "giraffe skin" we're going to us
