First, you could do a directed drawing with this step by step how to draw a pigeon printable from The Best Children’s Books.

This pigeon game from Patootie is a great idea! You can even make the buses different colors or put different letters or sight words on them to practice while guessing where the pigeon is.

This Rhyming Game from Growing Book by Book will sure to be a hit with your children. She includes all of the directions and printables you need to use this awesome book to practice rhyming.

Try this paper plate pigeon craft like they did at A Little Pinch of Perfect. You could turn this into a puppet as well by attaching a craft stick to the bottom.

This and That has a free printable template to turn a toilet paper tube into the pigeon!

I love this Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus alphabet activity from The Educators Spin on It. She offers links to the printables you need to set up this activity and gives different ideas on ways you can use it to make learning fun.

Make your own Pigeon Book with the blank template from Thrive after Three.

Follow up your book with a pigeon themed snack like they did at Juggling with Kids. I don’t know anyone that would turn down that snack.
