About this resource
This quiz focuses on Thanksgiving as a cultural and historical topic, appropriate for first grade students. The questions assess basic knowledge about Thanksgiving traditions, seasonal awareness, historical figures like Pilgrims and Native Americans, traditional foods, and simple facts about turkeys as animals. Students need fundamental vocabulary recognition, basic understanding of seasons and months, knowledge of traditional American holiday customs, and simple historical awareness about America's early settlers. The quiz combines social studies concepts with basic science knowledge about animals and seasons, requiring students to identify visual elements, recall factual information, and connect cultural traditions with specific time periods and practices. Created by Pam Toll, a Science teacher in US who teaches grade 1. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for holiday-themed instruction that bridges social studies and science concepts during the Thanksgiving season. Teachers can use this assessment as a pre-holiday review activity, formative assessment to gauge student understanding of cultural traditions, or as a fun classroom activity that reinforces vocabulary and seasonal concepts. The quiz works well for warmup activities before Thanksgiving break, homework assignments that families can discuss together, or small group practice sessions. This assessment aligns with standards including 1.H.1 (understanding chronology and change over time), K.C&G.1 (understanding roles of citizens), and 1.G.2 (understanding human and environmental interactions), while incorporating basic life science concepts about animal characteristics that support Next Generation Science Standards for primary grades.
