TURKEY SCARF ACTIVITIES VIDEO

TURKEY SCARF ACTIVITIES ARE PERFECT FOR NOVEMBER

It’s Thanksgiving Turkey scarf activity time. This TURKEY scarf activity video and presentation will keep your students busy moving during November Thanksgiving holiday excitement!

Students can stand in their own space and use their scarves to follow the “Turkey’s” while exercising gross and fine motor muscles.

When we do scarf movement we want to move:

UP

DOWN

ACROSS

SIDE TO SIDE

AROUND

UNDER

BEHIND

IN FRONT

All of these action movements will encourage the development of coordination skills, reading skills, and gross motor muscle development.

WHY USE SCARF ACTIVITIES?

• Scarf activities are perfect for the P.E., Music, Special Education, Preschool, Kindergarten and First Grade Teachers. Scarf movement activities increase Reading skills because they help students with tracking, concept identification, visualization, and sequencing.
• Movement is a powerful learning tool, particularly for students who are bodily-kinesthetically inclined.
• Perfect for exercising and developing gross motor skills.

WHEN TO USE SCARF ACTIVITIES

• Brain Breaks
• Music Class activities
• P.E. Classes
• Reward Days
• Rainy Days
• Parties
• Homeschool activities
• Preschool activities

And if you’re looking for an activity for your Thanksgiving family gathering, believe me that all the kids will love playing with scarves together.

Children love to wave scarves around. Use a towel, bandana, scarf, tissue wrapping paper, washcloth- even a tissue in this activity. You will love having the rules and directions as well as the specific movements for optimal gross motor action!

Movement activities encourage brain connections and help children in so many ways!
