Description
Celebrate Thanksgiving with computer science activities where students build code-based turkeys. These digital lessons blend holiday fun with foundational coding practice.
Teach students how to follow and decompose algorithms with these Build a Turkey digital coding activities. 2 types of digital activities ask students to follow an algorithm to put a Turkey together and then look at a pre-built Turkey and type their own algorithm for it. Perfect for before Thanksgiving or as a follow up to a Disguise a Turkey activity!
Use these activities as a lesson on understanding what an algorithm is, how to write one, follow one, and decompose one. I even included printable posters and vocabulary cards.

TABLE OF CONTENTS:
2 Link to the Digital file (5 slides of Following and Algorithm, 5 Slides of Decomposing an Algorithm, and 2 Vocab Posters)
3 Algorithm poster (prints on standard printer paper)
4-5 Vocab words
6-7 Terms of Use and Credits
ISTE Standards
Strand: Computational Thinker
Standard: 5.a. formulate problem definitions suited for technology assisted methods such as data analysis, abstract models and algorithmic thinking in exploring and finding solutions.
I Can Statements:
• I can follow an algorithm.
• I can create an algorithm.
• I can write a problem for the computer to
I highly recommend the picture book Kids Get Coding as an introduction to this topic for you and your students.
