First, choose a Thanksgiving - themed story that has the words 'left' and 'right' in it. Then, have everyone sit in a circle. One person starts reading the story. When the reader says 'left', the item (like a small toy or a piece of candy) is passed to the left. When 'right' is said, it's passed to the right. The person who has the item when the story ends gets to keep it or wins a small prize.
Well, in a Thanksgiving fill - in - the - story game, you'll often use words related to the traditional elements. 'Autumn' is a common word as Thanksgiving occurs in the fall. 'Cranberries' are a staple of the Thanksgiving table, so that could be used. 'Blessings' is another word as people often talk about their blessings during Thanksgiving. You might also use 'parade' if the story is about the Thanksgiving parade that happens in some places.
These fill - in - the - blanks stories are great for education. Teachers can use them to engage students in the Thanksgiving spirit. Kids have to think about the context and what words would fit, which enhances their comprehension. Moreover, it can be a group activity where they discuss the possible answers, promoting teamwork and communication skills.
You can start with a typical Thanksgiving scene like 'The guests at the Thanksgiving party (started) a dance competition after eating too much.'
One could be: 'The turkey was so big that when it walked into the kitchen, it (knocked over) all the pots and pans.'
The 'left right game' could be related to the Thanksgiving story as a way to distribute items or treats during the celebration, similar to how food and gifts are shared on Thanksgiving.
Another option could be 'dark forest'. The adjective 'dark' creates an atmosphere of mystery and danger. In a game story, the dark forest might be filled with all kinds of strange creatures and obstacles that the player needs to overcome.
