Horizontal and vertical graphing can sometimes be very confusing for
little learners, but turkeys can make it a concept easy to understand!
I have created a new turkey version of a similar winter snowman product. It also includes large and small pieces for a better visual understanding of the objective. Learning to do graphing should be a fun unforgettable activity!

This is a creative Thanksgiving or fall turkey horizontal and vertical graphing activity using a Kleenex Tissue box or a
cube template to make dice for graphing the different turkeys. It is a favorite with
children!
The product has pieces to do a large floor size graphing activity and a regular sized activity! It works best to print the activity out first, to help you decide, what size you want to make the large graphing grid. (Large graphing grid not included.)

(These are pictures of the large grid, but being used with the snowman graphing activity.)
For the large activity, you will need to create your own large graphing
grid, preferably one that can be reused again and again! It can be any
size you wish! Plus you will need colored paper to fill the grid
squares, unless coloring them in with a onetime use.
You can use any size large piece of paper, heavy vinyl picnic table
cover or plastic like a shower curtain and create a large visual floor
graph to use with the pieces.
You can also create a large graphing grid on a chalkboard, whiteboard or
paper, then carefully taping the pieces on, creating a large wall hands
on activity.
There is a page to make your own dice using the turkey dice template,
which is tricky for many children! An easier version is to create a
large die using the six larger turkeys and a square Kleenex box (Not
included.) or cut the small turkeys and glue them to small wooden cubes
to create dice.
Just add the turkeys and colored pieces of paper to fill in the boxes as
each turkey progresses in the graph. They can be taped on, but I like to
use binder clips to have the turkeys standing up!
Decide which activity you are going to do and if using the color or the
grayshade activity. This activity includes 2 different dice pages, 4
different graph pages with two types of graphs, large and small movable turkey pieces and the ending question sheet.
The turkey pictures can be cut apart and put in blinder clips to move
with the activity. Children love picking out their favorite turkey to
race and quietly cheering them to the finish and moving the big and little turkeys on the big and little graphs! See which turkey is the winner!
There are two different versions of the horizontal and vertical included
graphs; one in each has more boxes to color in when doing the activity
with older children.
It is important to notice that the turkeys look very similar, so the
children need to look very carefully before coloring the box. The
children roll their die and color in the correct box on the graph
showing the same exact turkey.
This is a wonderful way to have hands on learning activity, especially for little learners being introduced to graphing.
You may want to start by introducing the large graphing activity using
only two or three turkeys and gradually add all six. The included paper
grids can be trimmed so that only a 2 or 3 grid is used!
This product makes a good visual discrimination practice and evaluation activity, as well as graphing. This activity can be used with individual students, small groups,
the whole class and also in a center or pocket chart.

Another activity that can be played by printing out extra turkeys is Concentration.
I plan on making several other activities with the same concept
including the large pieces, as children love them and with practice they
can do them without adult help!
I also have a Thanksgiving writing product
