Cut out 5 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 will come Thanksgiving Day!

Basket of Thanks!
* Indian corn
* basket
Every night at dinner we pass around to each family member our basket of thanks and ear of corn. Each family member takes a kernel of corn from the cob and tells one thing that they are thankful for and puts the corn in the basket. By the time Thanksgiving arrives we have a basket full of corn giving proof of the many things we have to be thankful for.

Apple or Potato Turkeys
* apple or potato
* construction paper
* feathers
* Glue
* pipe cleaners
* markers
* colored tooth picks
* cupcake liner folded in half
Start with an apple or Potato as the base for the turkey. Insert colored toothpicks into potato for the tail feathers and its legs. On the toothpicks you could put mini marshmallows, or just cut feathers out of paper and glue onto toothpicks. Make the turkey head out of brown construction paper and use markers for the face. Tape a toothpick to the construction paper head and insert it to the body. You can use a cupcake liner for the tail also.

Paint each child's palm and thumb with brown paint, then paint the other four fingers with whatever color they choose -these are the feathers. Place their hand paint down on the white sheet of paper that has this poem already printed on it: This isn't just a turkey As anyone can see This very special turkey Was made by hand by me! Have them sign the bottom. The next day, they can add the turkey's features with crayons and choose a color of construction paper to mount it on. Cute gift !

Stuff The Turkey
Brown paper bag
two small brown lunch paper bags
newspaper
tissue paper
tape
stapler
glue
Fold down about 4" of the large brown bag - keep the fold inside. Fold and staple in each of the four edges of the bag so that the opening is smaller. Smooth out the opening to make it rounded. Stuff the two small paper bags with newspaper. Twist the top of the bags and tape to form the drumsticks. Cut strips of the red tissue paper and glue around the twisted top of the drumsticks for decoration. Glue the drumsticks on the sides of the "turkey". For the stuffing, wad up pieces of the newspaper and tape together to form balls.
TO PLAY: Players stand back about four feet and take turns tossing the "stuffing" into the "turkey". See who can get the most in.

Do the Turkey Pokey
This is sung to the tune of the Hokey Pokey but the children will pretend that they are turkeys as you all sing things like:
You put your right wing in, put your right wing out, You put your right wing in and you shake it all about. You do the Turkey Pokey and you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about.
You put your left wing in, put your left wing out, You put your left wing in and you shake it all about. You do the Turkey Pokey and you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about.
You put your red beak in, put your red beak out, You put your red beak in and you shake it all about. You do the Turkey Pokey and you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about.
