Thanksgiving Symmetry Lessons for Fall Fun!

Thanksgiving break is just around the corner, and your students are getting super excited. But that doesn’t mean learning has to stop! Check out these creative Thanksgiving symmetry worksheets for 1st grade math class.

These worksheets include the following Thanksgiving characters and objects that need finishing using the grid to help guide the drawing:

• Pumpkin 
• Apple Pie
• Turkey Dinner
• Bundt Cake
• Turkey

Not only will this activity have your students developing their fine-motor skills, but they’ll also be working on their understanding of symmetry with these Thanksgiving grid drawings.

Students are required to draw the other half of each of the characters/objects with these ready-made symmetry grid worksheets. The half that is drawn must be exactly the same as the other side for it to be a symmetrical image. 

Students can use the grid to assist them when working with different proportions.
