Thanksgiving Songs and Poems

Five Little 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.

Mr. Turkey
I have a turkey, big and fat.(Make a fist with one hand-thumb out for turkey's head)
He spreads his tail and walks like that.(Attach "tail" by spreading out fingers of other hand and join together)
His daily corn he would not miss.(Poke with thumb at floor)
And when he talks, it sounds like this:Gobble Gobble Gobble

I’m Thankful
Sung to: "Row, row, row your boat
I’m thankful for my friends and for my family.
I’m thankful for the food I eat. I’m happy to be me!

If You're Thankful
Sung to: "If You're Happy & 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!

Six Little Turkeys
Sung to: "six little ducks"
Six little turkeys that I once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones, there were two.
But the one little turkey with the funny red wattle.
He led the others with hisGobble, gobble, gobble.
He led the other with hisGobble, gobble, gobble.

Over the rocks and through the tress,
Turkeys wobbling in the breeze,
But the one little turkey with the funny red wattle,
He led the others with his Gobble, gobble, gobble.
