Thanksgiving Fingerplays and Songs
Guest Author - Diane Claus

Guest author Jeanette Norman

This old road is hard and bumpy

Five fat turkeys wild and jumpy

Driver driver not so jerky

Or you'll make us loose a turkey

(spoken)

Driver! Driver! Stop I say!

One fat turkey got away!

(repeat each verse until just one turkey is left and say:)

Driver! Driver! stop I say!

Let's save this turkey for Thanksgiving Day!
--Sent in by Renee' from Missouri




Five Fat Turkeys Sitting on the gate
The first one said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
The second one said, "Thanksgiving is near."
The third one said, "That makes me shake with fear!"
The fourth one said, "Let's run, run, run!"
The fifth on said, "Here comes the farmer with his gun!"
"Let's have turkey dinner," they heard the farmer say.
So the five fat turkeys flew far, far away!

--In my files




(This has been Wesley's favorite since he was a baby - Jeanette)

The Turkey is a funny bird,
His head goes wobble wobble.
All he says is just one word..... Gobble gobble, gobble!




Let's Be Thankful (To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Let's be thankful for this day
Four our friends and our play
Let's be thankful; let's be glad
For our food and the things we have
Let's give thanks for you and me
And our home and family.

--In my files




Fat Turkey's Song (to the tune of "Did You Ever See a Lassie?")

Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble,
Fat turkeys, fat turkeys.
Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble,
Fat turkeys are we.
We walk very proudly and gobble so loudly,
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble.
Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble.
Fat turkeys are we.




Five Fat Turkeys

Five fat turkeys are we.
We slept all night in a tree.
When the cook came around,
We couldn't be found.
That's why we're here you see!




MR. Turkey (Are You Sleeping?)

Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey,
Big and fat, Big and Fat.
I'm gonna eat you! I'm gonna eat you!
Just like that! Just like that!
