There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Turkey is a great book to go along with a lesson to teach in the month of November. We created a fun lesson that we teach every year to our little kiddos that incorporates literacy, math and sequencing all in one. It’s a win-win. Let’s take a look at how easily this fun content-rich lesson can be incorporated into your elementary classroom.

Lesson and Video- Thanksgiving Fun
Watch and Listen the story- the kids will love it. We listened to it once while the class was coloring their hundreds charts and then we listen to it again to do the sequencing activity. I started and stopped the video as needed to glue down the objects for sequencing.
Color the turkey and glue in the little old lady’s mouth.
Additional Sequencing Activity- Listen to the story and have the students color-cut-and paste the pictures in sequence.
