My students love talking about traditions, especially around the holidays. What better way to kick off celebrating Thanksgiving traditions than through an interactive read aloud of Phil Bildner’s Turkey Bowl? Your students will love this fun story about the excitable main character, Ethan, who couldn’t be more ready to finally play in the family’s annual Turkey Bowl.
This excitement turns to epic disappointment when he enters the kitchen on Thanksgiving morning to find that the most important ingredient, family, is missing. What is Ethan supposed to do if he can’t play in the Turkey Bowl that he has been waiting for the last nine years?
