Thanksgiving Poems for First and Second Grade | Fall Reading Fluency Activities

This year, instead of performing the traditional Thanksgiving feast play, consider inviting parents to a poetry read before the feast! These poems will be a nice addition to your Thanksgiving unit plan for fluency practice.

This is a collection of 17 Thanksgiving poems for children of all reading abilities with black and white graphics for children to color. Titles include When Daddy Carves the Turkey and I went Hungry on Thanksgiving by Jack Prelutsky.

Enjoy helping your students to learn about the first Thanksgiving while improving fluency with these educational and humorous poems!
