TURKEY DINNER
(Sung to Frère Jacques.)
Turkey Dinner, turkey dinner,
Gather round, gather round,
Who will get the drumstick?
Yummy, yummy drumstick,
All sit down, all sit down.
Cornbread muffins, chestnut stuffing,
Puddin' pie, one foot high,
All of us were thinner
Until we came to dinner;
Me oh my! Me oh my!
Make some bird treats for your backyard so the birds can celebrate Thanksgiving too! Help your child use a table knife to spread peanut butter all over a pine cone. Then roll the pinecone in birdseed. Use a piece of string to hang it outside for the birds to enjoy
I'M A LITTLE TURKEY
I'm a little turkey, (hold out your hand with fingers pointing up and thumb in front of palm)
My name is Ted.
Here are my feathers (wiggle your 4 fingers)
Here is my head (wiggle your thumb)
Gobble, gobble, gobble,
Is what I say,
Quick! Run! It's Thanksgiving Day!
FIVE FAT TURKEYS
Five fat turkeys were sitting on a fence. (One hand up)
The first one said, 'I'm so immense.' (Point to thumb)
The second one said, 'I can gobble at you.' (Pointer finger)
The third one said, 'I can gobble, too.' (Middle finger)
The fourth one said, 'I can spread my tail.' (Ring finger)
The fifth one said, 'Don't catch it on a nail.' (Little finger)
A farmer came along and stopped to say (Pointer finger of other hand.)
'Turkeys look best on Thanksgiving Day.'
Over the river and through the wood
To Grandfather's house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the wood --
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the wood
To have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring,
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!
Over the river and through the wood,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground
Like a hunting hound,
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
Over the river and through the wood,
And straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go
Extremely slow --
It is so hard to wait!
Over the river and through the wood --
Now Grandmother's cap I spy!
Hurrah for fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurray for the pumpkin pie!
LITTLE INDIANS
Five little Indians, on a nice fall day (dance around)
Jumped on their ponies and rode far away (hands on next child, pretend to be ponies)
They galloped in the meadow,
and they galloped up a hill, (pretend to gallop)
They galloped so fast,
they all took a spill. (pretend to fall off the ponies)
How can I make an easy costume?
