The Thanksgiving Recipe Remix is a creative and engaging classroom activity that brings Thanksgiving-themed fun into a standards-aligned lesson.

Students get to craft their own unique twist on classic Thanksgiving dishes by combining traditional recipes with unexpected "twist" ingredients. Then, they’ll plan and present a persuasive commercial to “sell” their dish to the class.

This project is perfect for winding down before Thanksgiving break while keeping students’ reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills sharp. With recipe cards, twist ingredient cards, detailed worksheets for different grade levels, and a commercial planning sheet, this ready-to-go activity saves teachers planning time and provides students with an experience that blends creativity with academic rigor.

Bring some festive fun to your classroom—your students will love it!
