    A Turkey in Disguise Project Free Printable Template

    BY: Kimberly Grabinski PUBLISHED: 7 Nov, '17 UPDATED: 30 May, '21 8 Comments

    This A Turkey in Disguise printable template is a fun project for classrooms, churches or at home.

    I always loved this time of year when my kids would come home with a turkey printed on a piece of paper and the assignment to "disguise" the turkey. It was always a lot of fun seeing what they came up with for their "a turkey in disguise", and even more fun to visit their school and see all of the turkeys. They are both too old for this assignment, so I decided to create my own little a turkey in disguise project in the hopes that they still want to participate.

    This fun activity involves "Tom" a turkey who doesn't want to be eaten on Thanksgiving. Kids are asked to help him disguise himself as anything other than a turkey so he can go undercover and not get eaten.

    A Turkey in Disguise

    See that little guy? His name is Tom and he is a turkey. This time of year is a really tough time to be a turkey because many people eat turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. Well, Tom doesn’t want to be eaten and says people should eat something else instead of turkey for Thanksgiving. So we are going to help Tom go undercover to avoid being eaten this year. Please help Tom by dressing him up any way you want. Disguise him as something else so he doesn’t get eaten. You can use scissors, glue, and anything you need to make him a convincing disguise. After you disguise him, fill in the blanks on the letter from Tom to help him suggest alternate dinner options for Thanksgiving.

        Dear Jagjeet, my name is Frank, I am a doctor. I am definitely not a turkey. But I like turkeys because they are unique and love to run and play. This Thanksgiving, I would like to suggest that you eat, pineapples instead of turkey for dinner. Because pineapples are my favorite and very healthy! A turkey would make a great pet, even better than a dog because turkeys are silly and make me laugh. Please don't eat turkey, please eat pineapples instead!

        Fill in the blanks, have fun, be creative!
