Stand-up activity – “If You’re Happy and You Know It” action song from Wee Sing Children’s Songs and Fingerplays
Sit down activity – Ten Fat Turkeys (not sure where I picked up this fingerplay)
(Count fingers)
Ten fat turkeys standing in a
row.
They spread their wings and
tails just so.
They look to the left,
They look to the right,
When they strut their stuff,
they're quite a sight!
But you won't see them on
Thanksgiving Day,
'Cause one by one they'll run
away.
Book #2 – Bear Says Thanks by Karma Wilson, illustrated by Jane Chapman
