Thanksgiving Songs and Poems

Mr. Turkey

I have a turkey, big and fat.

(Make a fist with one hand-thumb Out for turkey’s head)

He spreads his tail and walks like that.

(Attach “tail” by spreading Out fingers of other hand and join together)

His daily corn he would not miss.

(Poke with thumb at floor)

And when he talks, it sounds like this:

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.

 

A Thanksgiving Song

(tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)

The Pilgrims sailed away,

Far across the sea.

They came to America

So they could be free.

The Native Americans

Helped them plant the corn.

Then they shared a great big feast,

Thanksgiving Day was born!

 

 I’m a Little Turkey

I’m a little turkey

My name is Ted.

Here are my feathers,

here is my head.

Gobble,gobble,gobble

Is what I say

Quick run.. It’s Thanksgiving Day!
