Free Thanksgiving Printable: Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie

Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie Printable Activity

I love reading the story of The Little Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie at Thanksgiving!

This printable game goes along with the story and is great fun for children in your preschool, pre-k, or kindergarten classroom.

Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie Printable


Well, wouldn’t you know it? As soon as I published my Thanksgiving Literacy and Math packets last week I discovered some super cute images at Scrappin Doodles that would have been perfect to include. Since it was too late I decided to create this free printable for you!

Supplies Needed:
Do-a-Dot Markers
Soft Pocket Cube

This game goes along with one of my favorite Thanksgiving books, I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson.

How to Play

These types of games are fun and simple to play. There are two pages included, the first one is the recording sheet and the second page has pictures that you cut out and insert into a pocket die or attach to the outside of a square box.

Give one recording sheet to each child in your small group. Print out the pictures, cut, and place in a pocket die.

Next, the students take turns rolling the die and recording their rolls on their recording sheet with a Do-A-Dot marker.

If your students are able you can have them write the numbers in the box instead of using the Do-A-Dot marker. Ask your students questions about how many of each item they rolled and which one has more or less to reinforce math concepts.

  1. Looks like an interesting game. Thanks. I’m gonna try it. Good skill to teach taking turns when playing games.

    1. Hi Beckie, Thanks for visiting. Make sure your printer is set to print in landscape orientation for this document instead of portrait. Go to “preferences” then select “landscape”. If you are in chrome open the document, then right click on the image to open the printer dialog box. Hope that helps 🙂

  2. I LOVE this! Can’t wait to do it in my teacher-led centers this week with my 4-K’s. I’m not sure how the clipart license is…am I able to turn this into a smartboard activity for whole group practice before our stations?

  3. Thanks so much for the free printable! I am actually going to read this book and use this next week!

  4. What a great idea
    I printed it out and intend to use it all week and next for my kids
    Such a perfect counting game
    Thank you so much for your efforts

  5. I used it today. I couldn’t wait. My para worked with 4 kids. We put letter stickers in the spots which extended the activity because they had to say the letter they were pasting on.
    I can hardly wait for tomorrow 🙂

  6. I look forward to checking out your blog everyday! Thanks for the free downloads. My class love The was an old lady books, looking forward to playing this game with them.

  7. We love “I Know an Old Lady” books! We don’t own the pie one but we have the fly one in a large size, with stacking cut-outs! It never EVER gets old! ;0

    Anyway, I’m stopping in because I am new to We Teach and just joined the “We’re Bloggers” group. When you find a moment, I would love for you to do the same. You can find me at http://sofiasideas.com/

    1. Thanks for stopping by Sofia! I checked out your blog, great stuff! I am a little OCD about my sidebar- I can’t stand clutter so I don’t have a GFC widget. Feel free to connect any way you wish 🙂
