Book: Thanks for Thanksgiving by Julie Markes, illustrated by Doris Barrette
Rhyme: “The Turkey”
The turkey is a funny bird, (hook thumbs together and spread fingers to create a turkey tail)
Its head goes wobble, wobble, (wobble head back and forth)
And all it knows is just one word, (hold up one finger)
“Gobble, gobble, gobble.” (open and close hands like beaks)

Song: “If You’re Thankful and You Know It” (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you’re thankful and you know it, clap your hands.
If you’re thankful and you know it, clap your hands.
If you’re thankful and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you’re thankful and you know it, clap your hands.
Additional verses:
Stomp your feet
Say “Thank you!”
Do all 3
