Turkey Math: Even and Odd Numbers

We started a turkey theme and I had ordered these Thanksgiving Finger

Puppets from Oriental Trading.  They are turkeys dressed as pilgrims

and indians.  Super cute! So, since we were learning about

what numbers are even or odd, we decided to use these

with a file folder game.

This file folder game is called "Some Odd Turkey".

You can download HERE from File Folder Fun.
You have 2 turkeys where 1 is labeled "even" and the

other is labeled "odd".  Then you have feathers with numbers

on each.  It goes beyond number 10, but we just worked

with numbers 1 through 10 to start.

I had him make a pile of all the feathers in a deck.

He would draw one at a time.  Whatever number

he picked up, he would use a tens frame that I printed

out and place that many turkeys in the tens frame.

He put them in the frame so the turkeys would make "pairs",

where a pair of turkeys is one turkey above and one

turkey below it.  If all turkeys had a pair, he knew

the number was "even", if all turkeys didn't have a pair,

then the number was "odd:".

He enjoyed playing this! :)

Have Fun and Be a Blessing!
