"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Workshop Wednesday

Turkey Math

Use turkey stickers and stick them onto a square of brown paper in a grid pattern.  Add little red triangles to the corners to fancy it up and laminate the game boards.  To make a die, use a wooden block and write the numbers 1, 2, or 3 on the faces.  With only 9 turkeys you do not want to go above 3 or the game will end very quickly!  To play each child takes a game board.  They take turns rolling the die and "feeding" the corresponding number of turkeys a kernel of corn.  The first player to cover their turkeys on an exact roll is the "winner". 

This would be a quick and easy game for children to make and take to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving.
