Extra activities

We talked about the parts of a turkey; head, body, beak, tail, wings, legs, etc and what people and turkeys have/don't have in common

Five Little Turkeys
Five little turkeys by the barn door
one waddled off, then there were four
four little turkeys out under the tree
one waddled, off, then there were three
three little turkeys with nothing to do
one waddled off, then there were two
two little turkeys in the noonday sun
one waddled off, then there was one
one little turkey - better run away!
soon it will be Thanksgiving day

If You're Thankful (sung to "If You're Happy and You Know It")
If you're thankful and you know it clap your hands
if you're thankful and you know it clap your hands
if you're thankful and you know it
then your face will surely show it
if you're thankful and you know it clap your hands
(repeat with other actions like; stomp your feet, slap your knees, say "hurray")
