Turkeys are a great excuse to bring figurative language into the classroom this November. Try giving your students a list of turkey idioms and have them guess what the idioms mean. Then give them a list of the real meanings and see if they can match the expressions to their definitions. You might want to include the following expressions: quit cold turkey, talk turkey, like turkeys voting for Christmas, a turkey shoot, I’m stuffed, stuff it, eat like a bird, and be a turkey. Also feel free to expand your idiom lesson by including idioms that mention other animals. (http://busyteacher.org/21351-thanksgiving-10-activities-to-celebrate.html)
