I love doing food activities in the classroom! They can take some prep and you might want to pull your hair out at points, but the look of joy on the students’ faces makes it all worth it.
For one project, I mixed blue food coloring with frosting, spread it on graham crackers, and put goldfish crackers on top to celebrate the end of our ocean animal unit. One of my students was talking to me about it during her 8th-grade graduation 9 YEARS LATER! LOL
Food activities are very engaging and create life long memories. Today I wanted to share with you some Thanksgiving food activities that I’ve rounded up for you to try out with your class.
Pumpkin Pie in a Cup
Wonderful little activity from The Printable Princess
Cornucopia
This cornucopia idea is too cute! I love that they put healthy ingredients into their “cornucopia” as well!
Vegetable Soup
My niece and nephew’s school always does a little performance around Stone Soup that the parents attend. They have vegetable soup to go along with it and it’s perfect for Thanksgiving time!
Caramel Apples
These look sooooo good!
Butter
We did this in my first-grade class when I was little. My teacher actually had an old butter churn that we used. Something I still remember almost 35 years later!!
This would be delicious to spread on some warm rolls not to mention the lesson on liquids turning into solids!!
Teepee Dirt Cups
Well, now I’m hungry!! Check out my Thanksgiving Activities Pinterest board if you’d like some more fun ideas for this holiday!
