Amy's Wandering

The grocery ads that arrived this morning are chock-full of Thanksgiving yummies.

I searched through them and created a Thanksgiving Grocery Ad Scavenger Hunt.

This list was made using ads from Kroger, Tom Thumb, and Albertsons.

Find the price of each item in all three ads, then add all the items up to determine which store is the best bargain.

Little ones can do a scavenger hunt with one ad by just hunting for the items on the list.

I plan on doing a similar one for Christmas, and include a hunt through my coupon binder!

20 lb. frozen turkey

10 lb. ham

1 fresh pumpkin pie

1 fresh pecan pie

1 bunch celery

4  2-ltr. bottles soft drink

4 lb. bag of sugar

My older kiddos are having fun with their creative writing lesson today. I found the idea here.

They have to:

~ Create a restaurant

• name
• logo
• style or theme

~ Plan a Thanksgiving Dinner menu

• items must match style of restaurant
• I gave them this list of local restaurant menus for inspiration

~ Design an ad

• include name, logo, catch-phrase, location, phone #
• use persuasive adjectives

~ Write a commercial

• sing a jingle
• convince me to come eat Thanksgiving Dinner at your restaurant

Here are some printables to use for menus, ads, etc:

• stationery
• writing paper
• scroll
• wishbone
• turkey
• cornucopia
