4 Free Thanksgiving I Spy Printable Pages + Word List

This free printable Thanksgiving I Spy game keeps kids busy and quietly builds counting, focus, and matching skills.

It’s a 4-page set — three full-color “I Spy” sheets that step up from easy to hard, plus a reading version for kids who need more of a challenge.

Each color sheet fills the page with Thanksgiving symbols — turkeys, pies, pumpkins, acorns, corn, cranberries — and kids search, count, and tally each one in the box. It’s simple for parents and teachers to print and use at home, at the kids’ table, or in a classroom center.

What’s Included

This thanksgiving i spy free printable is a 4-page PDF:

• Page 1 – Easy: a full-color sheet with a turkey, pumpkin, pie, corn, apple, acorn, and pilgrim hat to spy and circle. Great for a first thanksgiving preschool activity.
• Page 2 – Medium: more items to find — cranberries, a drumstick, potatoes, and a cornucopia join the mix.
• Page 3 – Hard: the busiest sheet, packed with a fox, squirrel, mushroom, gravy boat, and basket hidden among the turkeys and pies.
• Page 4 – Reading version: a black-and-white silhouette page with a printed word list, so kids match the written word to its shape instead of circling.

Format details: PDF, 8.5 × 11 inch pages, portrait, print-ready, no prep required — just print and play.

The Reading Version (Page 4)

Page four is the quiet gem: a reading version where kids match the written word to the picture instead of just counting shapes.

It’s an early-literacy activity for the Thanksgiving holiday season.

Each page hides these items — count how many of each you can find:

• turkey, pie, leaf, pumpkin, corn
• hat, apple, feather, cranberry, drumstick
• gravy boat, cornucopia, acorn, scarecrow

For the youngest kids, call out one item at a time and count together. For older ones, race to find them all.

Ideal For

• Parents looking for easy screen-free thanksgiving activities for kids
• Teachers planning thanksgiving classroom stations
• Homeschool families covering holiday themes
• Aftercare staff needing quiet-time games
• Holiday party organizers needing kid-table printables
• Caretakers on road trips or in waiting rooms
• Babysitters or family helpers
• Kids ages 4–9 who enjoy puzzles

For kids who are reading, pair it with the Thanksgiving word search; for a group game, add Thanksgiving bingo. Got a wigglier crowd? Send them on a Thanksgiving scavenger hunt instead.
