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!
Repeat, counting down until all the kernels have popped.

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, and you really want to show it,
If you’re thankful and you know it, clap your hands.
Additional verses:
If you’re thankful and you know it, stomp your feet…
If you’re thankful and you know it, shout “I am!”…
If you’re thankful and you know it, do all three…

Flannel: “Four Pieces of Pie”
One whole pie
Set by the door,
Cut into four pieces,
I count…four.
Four pieces of pie,
All for me!
NomNomNomNomNom
I ate one piece
Now there are…three.
NomNomNomNomNom
[Gasp], Cat ate a piece!
Now there are…two.
Two pieces of pie,
All for me!
[“Squeak, sharing is fun!”] (mouse)
NomNomNomNomNom
[Gasp], Mouse ate a piece!
Now there is…one.
One piece of pie,
All for me!
[“Hurry, scurry, you’re my hero!”] (ant)
NomNomNomNomNom
[Gasp], Ant ate a piece!
Now there’s…zero.
My pie’s all gone.
