Dressing outfits

Teaching Tip: Decorate the Cultural Turkey

By: Molly Simms, 3rd Grade Teacher

“Around Thanksgiving time, I always photocopy the outline of a turkey. I send the turkey home with students. I then challenge students to talk to their parents about their cultural background and dress the turkey in a traditional outfit representing their cultural background. To stir some inspiration, I share turkeys that I have created that represent my cultural background. The project is great fun for all!“
