Thankful

I'm thankful for the turkey.
I'm thankful for the pie.
I'm thankful for the corn and bread
And squash I'm going to try.
I'm thankful for the toys I have,
The sun I feel and see,
And always, for my family
Who gather here with me.

     I'm Thankful
(Sung to: "Mary Had a Little Lamb)

I'm thankful for my friends at school,
Friends at school, friends at school.
I'm thankful for my friends at school,
And my teacher, too!

I'm thankful for my family,
Family, family.
I'm thankful for my family,
And my home, too.

Thanksgiving Day Thanks
Sung to: "The Farmer in the Dell"

Thanksgiving Day is here,
Thanksgiving Day is here.
Let's give thanks for all we have,
Thanksgiving Day is here.

For all our moms and dads,
For all our families,
Let's give thanks for all we have,
Thanksgiving Day is here.

For all the flowers and trees,
For all the birds and bees,
Let's give thanks for all we have,
Thanksgiving Day is here.

(The kids could make up more verses
by telling what they are thankful for).

Gobble, Gobble
Sung to: "Pop Goes the Weasel"

A turkey  is a funny bird,
His head goes wobble, wobble.
He knows just one funny word-
Gobble, gobble, gobble!

Indians and Pilgrims
Sung to: "The Farmer and the Dell"

The friendly Indians came,
The friendly Pilgrims came,
Heigh-ho the derry-oh,
On Thanksgiving Day.

They came to celebrate,
They came to celebrate,
Heigh-ho the derry-oh,
On Thanksgiving Day.

Thankful Poem*

There are many things I am thankful for,
I can find them near and far.
There are many things I am thankful for,
Let me tell you what they are.
I am thankful for the sun.
I am thankful for the trees.
I am thankful for my friends.
And I'm thankful to be me!
*This is a great poem to illustrate!

Where's That Turkey?

I'm a little turkey,
Waddling through town.
Here are my feathers:
orange, red, and brown.
I will run and hide if I hear you say,
"It will soon be Thanksgiving Day!"
