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

Down By the Station

Down by the station early in the morning

See the little buffer bellies all in a row

See the engine driver pull the little handle

Chug, chug, woo woo

Off we go!

Elephant Song

1 elephant went out to play upon a spider web one day (one elephant walks around the room)

He/she had such enormous fun, he/she called on another elephant to come.

2 elephant went out to play… (Continue to repeat the top, until all of the children are in a line)

__ elephants went out to play upon the spider web one day.

They had such enormous fun,

That the spider web broke and their fun was all done!

Five Little Acorns

5 little acorns swaying in a tree

hanging from a branch as high as can be.

Along came the wind and blew one away.

4 little acorns are left to sway.

(repeat with descending number)

Five Turkeys

Five little turkeys by the barn door

One waddled away and then there were four.

Four little turkeys sitting in a tree

One waddled away and then there were three.

Three little turkeys did not know what to do

One waddled away and then there were two.

Two little turkeys sitting in the sun

One waddled away and then there was one.

One little turkey better run away

Before it is Thanksgiving Day!

Then you smash ‘em, smash ‘em, smash ‘em, smash ‘em, smash ‘em. (Clap hands together)

Then you spread it all over the bread. (take right hand and pretend to spread over left hand)
