Song: “If You’re Thankful and You Know It”
If you’re thankful and you know it clap your hands. (clap clap)
If you’re thankful and you know it clap your hands. (clap clap)
If you’re thankful and you know it and you really want to show it.
If you’re thankful and you know it clap your hands. (clap clap)
Additional verses: Stomp your feet, Shout “I am!”, Do all three

Flannel: Five little kernels
[Put up the five kernel shapes on the board, as spread out as you can.] [When you say POP! slap a white popcorn shape right on top of one of the kernels.]
Five little kernels sizzling in the pot
All of a sudden, one went POP! [When you say POP! slap a white popcorn shape right on top of one of the kernels.]
Four little kernels… etc.

Rhyme: Popcorn
You put the oil in the pot and you let it get hot
You put the popcorn in and you start to grin.
Sizzle, sizzle Sizzle, sizzle Sizzle, sizzle Sizzle, sizzle, POP!
(Children begin in a crouched position, knees bent, then s-l-o-w-l-y rise until the final POP! when we jump up in the air!)
