This is a fun Thanksgiving-themed game that is perfect for reviewing place value skills and addition and subtraction with your third grade class. Students will be practicing place value skills up to six digit numbers, comparing numbers, rounding numbers to the nearest hundreds place, adding and subtraction.

This is an interactive game where the students are timed. They are trying to find Terrance the Turkey who is lost! Students must solve a string of math questions and clues to find Terrance.

You can decide how much time your students have to complete the task. I suggest one hour minutes. You can project a timer for your class, or put one somewhere for all the students to see, so they can keep track of how much time they have left to complete their task.

This is similar to a scavenger hunt where students will be moving around the room, looking for clues to unlock their envelopes (I have included riddles and suggestions on where to hide each clue). A paper is provided so students can write their work down. For many of the questions, students must have an answer that matches one on an envelope. If the answers do not match, they can’t open or “unlock” the envelope, and must rework the question.

*Everything is included, however teachers must provide their own envelopes.

I give step by step instructions on how to set up the game, including pictures! This is sure to capture the attention of your students.
