Thanksgiving is almost here, and let’s be real, we’re all swamped with personal tasks. Planning anything else might seem like an added headache. I personally order my Thanksgiving dinner from a local restaurant and no longer feel guilty about it.

Don’t worry! Here are some no-prep and low-prep occupational therapy or elementary classroom Thanksgiving-themed Activities to save you some precious time.

Print out some pages, create a cute turkey raft, and grab themed erasers from Amazon to have your students count and sort. You can use muffin tins and strawberry hullers as sorting tools!

These resources will cover all the essential skills for your therapy sessions or make for a fun addition to your classroom without any guilt.

Keep your students engaged and working on academic skills with these Thanksgiving-themed occupational therapy and classroom activities.  These resources include differentiated, worksheets & digital activities which incorporate math, social-emotional learning, literacy, writing, handwriting, fine motor, gross motor, and visual perceptual skills.  These activities are great for kindergarten writing centers, 1st-grade math stations, early finishers, occupational therapy activities, emergency sub plans, and more.
