Thanksgiving worksheets for kids
Thanksgiving food and family vocabulary in English and Spanish — picture cards, word search, tracing and a four-page PDF.
Thanksgiving vocabulary is concrete and easy to picture: turkey, pie, corn, family. The set keeps the words short enough for a one-week unit and pairs each picture with English and Spanish, so a bilingual or newcomer classroom can use the same page.

Three ways to use it
- Gratitude sentence frame. Children complete “I am thankful for ___” and draw the picture; the Spanish frame is “Doy gracias por ___”.
- Food sorting. Sort the picture cards into “food” and “people”, then count each group in English and Spanish.
- Table setting. Use the cards to label a paper plate place setting: plate, fork, cup, napkin.
Questions
Does this include the history of Thanksgiving?
No. It is a vocabulary set, not a history lesson; it avoids the colonial narrative and focuses on food, family and gratitude.
Can I use it with newcomers?
Yes. The pictures carry the meaning and the Spanish word is printed on the same card.
What is in the four-page PDF?
Word search, answer key, eight picture cards and a tracing page.
