Take the stress out of planning a Thanksgiving celebration that is magical and educational with these Thanksgiving centers! This will be a Thanksgiving your students never forget!

Set the stage with a note from the pie shop owner:

    My students and I really loved this activity. I hope you will have more for other holidays! It was a great way to keep them engaged and learning during the exciting and busy holiday time!

    We had soooo much fun with this activity. It took the better part of the morning to complete. I was able to make 4 groups with 4 different culprits. That way none of the groups could copy another.
