Feed the Turkey Alphabet Game
This printable alphabet game is a fun way to teach or reinforce the alphabet in your preschool or kindergarten classroom or homeschool.
While this activity does require a bit of preparation, it can be used at home or in the classroom to work on letter recognition or beginning sounds.
Trying to find a unique and engaging way to teach the alphabet is often a challenge. But, when you add this activity to your lesson plans, it’s sure to be a hit.
Preparing the Activity
I suggest printing the pages on cardstock and laminating them for durability.
Then, cut out the turkey face including the mouth. Cut out all 26 pumpkin pies, as well.
Completing the Activity
Place the turkey face on the table. You could also glue it to the top of an empty oatmeal canister or shoebox, as well. Just remember to cut out the mouth.
Then, shuffle the pumpkin pies and spread them out on the table in front of your child.
Now, call out a letter and have your child feed it to the turkey. You could also call out a beginning sound and have your child find the correct letter. Or, you can call out the name of an object, and have your child listen for the beginning sound to feed the turkey.
