What's the problem eating too much pumpkin pie this time of year? You'll get AUTUMNy ache.
A cartoon man with a shocked expression looks at a street paved entirely with slices of pumpkin pie. He exclaims, "This street is full of pie! It's desserted." In the background, a small groundhog holds its own slice of pie.

Carve and dress a turkey!

Challenge students to carve graham crackers into the shape of a turkey—using only their teeth! They insert a photo of their cracker into Google Slides and add shapes to dress or disguise the turkey. #EduSky #EdTech
A graphic titled "Carve and dress a turkey!" illustrates a three-step creative activity. The first step shows a child carving a turkey silhouette from a graham cracker with their teeth, with the instruction: "Carve a turkey silhouette from a graham cracker with your teeth." The second step shows the resulting carved cracker and the instruction to "Insert a photo of the carved cracker into Google Slides." The final step shows the cracker digitally decorated with cartoon eyes and a striped scarf, advising to "Add shapes to dress or disguise the turkey." The graphic is branded with the Shapegrams logo.

Funny Friday! Apologies in advance for the corny puns. 🙃
A cartoon titled "CORNGRATULATIONS!" shows a man on a stage congratulating a large, living candy corn character. The man says, "You did an a-maize-ing job playing the French corn in the corn-cert!" The candy corn character, holding a broken "French corn" (French horn) and surrounded by falling "corn-fetti," replies, "Thank for the corn-pliment and all this corn-fetti."
