Turkey in Disguise Printable Project

What is the Disguise a Turkey Activity?

The Turkey in Disguise project is a classic classroom project that is based on the book Turkey Trouble. Students are tasked with disguising their turkey to save it from Thanksgiving dinner. This can be sent home as a family project using our blank turkey, or, have kids complete their own disguised turkey in class with one of our templates.

We have 3 free disguise a turkey printables to choose from: a blank turkey, a WANTED poster turkey, or a ‘This is not a turkey’ template. Pick your favorite or print all three to disguise in creative ways.

Watch the Video Tutorial!

There are 3 printable templates you can use:

1. A blank turkey
2. A Wanted sign template
3. “This is not a turkey, it is a” template

You can get all of the printables at the bottom of the post.

Ways to use the templates:

• Use the blank turkey and have kids disguise them with craft supplies and their own drawings.

• Print the black and white outfits and have kids color them in.

• Use the colored outfits for a writing exercise. Kids can choose their favorite outfit and write about their turkey’s disguise.
