Thanksgiving Math Worksheets for Kindergarten

Thanksgiving math worksheets for kindergarten are a simple way to bring holiday fun into early learning.

When my son was first practicing counting and number recognition, I noticed he stayed much more engaged if the pages had seasonal themes.

These printable activities use turkeys, pumpkins, and pilgrim hats to make math practice feel festive while reinforcing skills like counting, writing numbers, and recognizing patterns.

They’re easy to use at home or in the classroom during the busy holiday season.

Thanksgiving Math Printables for Counting and Patterns

These Thanksgiving worksheets add a seasonal twist to counting and early number work.

With turkeys, pumpkins, and pilgrim hats on the page, kids stay more focused because the practice feels connected to the holiday.

They’re simple to set up, low-prep for teachers or parents, and just right for keeping little learners engaged in November.

Table of Contents

Turkey Counting

Kids practice counting sets of pumpkins, turkeys, and pilgrim hats, writing the correct number beside each group.

Adding color keeps them engaged, and you can use this as a small-group activity, morning work, or quiet practice after storytime.

A Thanksgiving-themed counting worksheet for kids titled “LET’S COUNT,” featuring illustrations of pilgrims, pumpkins, hats, and turkeys. Children are prompted to count each item and write the total in the blank boxes on the left; some answers are already filled in with the numbers 9 and 5. The page is partially colored, and fall decorations like orange leaves and plastic pumpkins surround the worksheet.

How Many?

Kids count sets of Thanksgiving-themed pictures, like turkeys, pumpkins, and hats, and write the number that matches. It’s a straightforward way to connect objects to numerals, and the coloring element keeps little hands busy after they finish counting.

This math worksheet works well as independent practice in the classroom, a math center activity, or a quick sheet to keep kids learning during the holiday season.

A Thanksgiving-themed worksheet titled “HOW MANY?” designed to help kids practice counting. The sheet features rows of holiday icons—turkeys, wreaths, pumpkins, ships, scarecrows, pilgrim hats, and people celebrating—where children count and write the total in adjacent boxes; one row of ten pumpkins is colored and labeled “10.” Autumn leaves frame the top left corner for a festive touch.

Pattern Recognition

This worksheet has kids cut out six Thanksgiving-themed pictures, turkeys, pumpkins, and hats, and paste them into the correct spots to finish each sequence.

It’s a simple way to practice spotting and continuing patterns, while also giving children a chance to use scissors and glue for some extra fine motor work.

I’ve found this activity works best in small groups or centers, since kids like comparing their patterns with each other as they work.

A Thanksgiving worksheet titled “WHAT COMES NEXT?” designed to teach pattern recognition. The page displays rows of themed illustrations—turkeys, pumpkins, ships, pilgrims, and cornucopias—with blank spaces at the end of each row for kids to fill in the next item. A cut-and-paste section at the bottom includes matching images to complete the patterns, and the worksheet is accented with autumn leaves and pumpkin-shaped decorations.

Counting & Writing Numbers

On this page, kids count groups of Thanksgiving pictures, and write the matching number in the box. It’s a simple way to connect what they see to the numerals they’re learning.

Younger children can focus on smaller sets (1–5), while more confident counters can stretch to 10.

I like to let kids color the pictures once they’re finished, which turns the page into both a math activity and a quiet, creative task.

A Thanksgiving-themed worksheet titled “THANKSGIVING COUNTING” designed to help children practice counting and number recognition. The activity includes rows of themed images like hats, wreaths, turkeys, ships, pumpkins, and pilgrims, which students count and match to numbers on the left. Some pumpkins are colored in orange, and the worksheet is accented with fall leaves and plastic pumpkin decorations.

Why These Worksheets Work

Thanksgiving math printables give children an easy way to connect numbers with the quantities they see on the page.

By counting and writing, they build number sense while also practicing fine motor skills like pencil control and cutting.

The pattern pages encourage logical thinking in a playful way, and the holiday theme makes the practice feel special, kids are more likely to stay engaged when the work ties into something they’re already excited about.

A Thanksgiving-themed counting worksheet titled “COUNTING 1–10,” designed for early learners. Children are asked to count festive images—turkeys, pumpkins, ships, pilgrims, and cooked turkeys—and select the correct number from a set of options below each box. Some images are partially colored, and the page is decorated with autumn leaves and pumpkin-shaped counters.

Thanksgiving Counting Books

I’ve always loved using books alongside worksheets, because stories make the math feel more natural. Thanksgiving math books are especially fun for this, they bring the holiday spirit into our read-aloud time while still sneaking in practice with numbers. These are a few I’ve reached for when Freddie was younger, and they pair perfectly with the printable activities above:

This First Thanksgiving Day: A Counting Story – A beautifully illustrated tale that builds one page at a time. It’s a gentle way to introduce both the history of Thanksgiving and early counting skills.
The 12 Days of Thanksgiving – A playful twist on the classic song, counting from 1 to 12 with pies, turkeys, and other festive details. It always had us singing along as we counted.
10 Fat Turkeys – Silly, loud, and guaranteed to get kids laughing. This one is great for practicing counting backwards, and it quickly became a bedtime favorite in our house during November.
