20 Awesome 3rd Grade Thanksgiving Activities

Thanksgiving is a time filled with gratitude, family, and delicious food. It’s also a great opportunity for 3rd graders to engage in fun and educational activities that celebrate different holiday’s themes. My favorite thing about Thanksgiving activities for kids is that it helps them learn about history of things like the first Thanksgiving, culture, and, most of all, the importance of gratitude.

Pairing stories from the Thanksgiving era with interactive games is a fun way to help 3rd graders get into the history behind the holiday. These Thanksgiving theme activities will help third graders form a love of the holiday season! From pumpkin pie to math skills, we’ve got Thanksgiving activities that are so much fun.
