Thanksgiving FUN! This resource provides 4 activities to learn about Thanksgiving in an interactive and exciting way that is great for the holiday season!
 
In this activity, students will learn about:

You can use this activity as an ongoing lesson for a few days or challenge your students to "breakout" in one day!
 
HOW TO USE:

-students use the information in the readings or videos to complete the challenges
-once they solve each puzzle, they are given letter clues (either digitally on the Google Form or on paper by the teacher)
-these letter clues must be unscrambled to solve a Thanksgiving-themed riddle/joke given at the end of the breakout!
