Visual Would You Rather | Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving Would You Rather resource promotes interactions and discussions with students in small group to whole class settings around the holiday, bringing in some discussions around life skills, and deciding what they want to do. It includes a number of ways to increase student engagement, starting with the question itself (questions that are fun to talk about, opinion-related, and help students to continue get to know each other too!), reflection worksheets, and visuals. Our students have so many interests, strengths, and things they want to talk about – this resource helps give students a platform and structure to share what they like and don’t like. Sometimes our students don’t have the space to express themselves in this manner or don’t feel like they can share a “no”, something negative, that there are no wrong answers, or what they don’t like. This can help increase their comfort with saying no, sharing their opinions, and even getting to know their own preferences -> which will be key later on into high school and adulthood! Ideas for use: You can use this resource in a multitude of ways: from a quick warm-up, morning meeting, transition activity, exit ticket, small group, 1:1, to whole class, independent work, can also serve as part of your Thanksgiving festivities! Across ages and support needs: Can be used with middle and high school students across ages, support needs, and abilities. We’ve included visuals for students who need more support as well as differentiated reflection worksheets. Preview Click here to preview the resource.
