The interface is VERY simplistic, which makes it very student friendly. Even younger students could do this activity.
Students can select from a several backgrounds and fonts. Students can take a screenshot and crop to save and upload their thankful statement to their blog or other sharing site. This site works on Chromebooks and PC too! We love PicCollage and use it for a variety of iPad activities. It is my go-to app for my iPad Scoot games and I am so thankful for the developers including so many free features and for making it kid-friendly.
Using my iAm Thankful packe t, students scan the included QR code and download the empty cornucopia. They set this as the background on PicCollage.
Next, students can either fill the cornucopia with text of things they are thankful for or use image search feature to add images. Since text can be resized and images can be easy be trimmed on PicCollage, students will be able to fill the cornucopia with many ideas. Similar to a fun project we did for Halloween for spooky sound rebus stories, I found a few free apps that hunters use to call turkeys.
Each app has several different sounds the turkeys make. They all work just about the same, although the second, Turkey Callin, was the most simple. The Turkey Calls Free includes videos of a man showing how to make the turkey call with your voice, which is fun too.
Students just draw the icon or write the name of the sound the turkey makes so they know which button to press. I created a differentiated activity for my students to complete the half day before Thanksgiving. That day is always a little touch-and-go since some students are absent, others are very excited, and it is a half day so our schedule is a bit chopped up.
Sickness, bathroom accidents, student meltdowns It is just smart to have a set printed and ready to go for those cases. I just finished the Then and Now Thanksgiving Reader too!
Love the Thanksgiving packs tons of great activities! Thanks so much for the pdf with the computer links my kiddos love these!
I am a little computer challenged.. I can project it on the screen above their workstations, but is there a way to get it on the kid's work stations? OOO and a big thank you and it was lovely to meet your family! You put this on your computers for center time.
Then your students can go play these themed games on this computers. Thanks for letting me know. They were so popular I put them in a pack. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email.

My students have to read the word and place it on the correct bird to build it. Each turkey has 8 words for it. I also put together a few pocket chart activities to play.
Whether you are a classroom teacher, art teacher, or parent, this fun pattern pumpkin project with free template is for you. Each turkey has 8 words for it. I also love using these mats to inspire writing! They were so popular I put them in a pack. It was lots of fun to make. Thanksgiving Pack contains over pages: I also have a SmartBoard and an Apple TV in my classroom that we use daily for both small group and whole group instruction.
Check out this pocket chart math station! I made this comparing numbers activity because we are getting SO good at comparing numbers, that I like to step it up some. I like to give them a number and the symbol, then let them determine the remaining number… perhaps a little bit of algebraic thinking? Check out this number order activity for pocket chart time. Cover some of the numbers to see if students can fill in the missing number. I might give clues like it has two sets of 10 and 5 ones. It is the same amount as a quarter.
It is a count by 5 number.
