Preschool Thanksgiving Songs and Turkey Song Picker

11/06/13 | Holidays, Kids Crafts and Coloring, Preschool, Thanksgiving

This little turkey is so easy to make and the kids love him!  I just cut out the shapes with construction paper and added googly eyes.  Then I wrote the names of the songs we are working on for the Christmas Program along with some fun songs and Thanksgiving songs and the kids love it!  I make sure I have enough feathers for each child so they all have a turn.

The turkey body is just a drumstick shape turned upside down and only glued around the sides and bottom of the large part of the turkey.  I leave the neck and head unglued so the feathers can slip in and out from behind him.  I use card stock for the back to keep it rigid.

Here are some thanksgiving songs you could add to your feathers.  Just copy and print these for you to have handy when you are teaching.

A Thanksgiving Song
(tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
The Pilgrims sailed away,
Far across the sea.
They came to America
So they could be free.
The Native Americans
Helped them plant the corn.
Then they shared a great big feast,
Thanksgiving Day was born!
I’m A Little Turkey (sung to “I’m A Little Teapot)
I’m a little turkey on a farm.
Here are my feathers, here is my beak.
When Thanksgiving comes I get real freaked, Please don’t eat me for your treat!
The kids really like this song…even though most of us do eat turkey for Thanksgiving…they think it’s funny.
Hello Mr. Turkey! (If You’re Happy and You Know It)
Hello Mr. Turkey, how are you? (clap, clap)
Hello Mr. Turkey, how are you? (clap, clap)
With a gobble, gobble, gobble and a wobble, wobble, wobble, Hello Mr. Turkey, how are you? (clap, clap)
Thanksgiving (tune – Where is Thumpkin)
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Here it comes, here it comes.
Turkey on the table, turkey on the table.
MMM good, MMMM good.
Cornbread muffins, chestnut stuffing,
Pumpkin pie, ten feet high.
We were so much thinner, before we came to dinner.
Me oh my, me oh my!

We Eat Turkey(tune:Are you sleeping?) 
We Eat Turkey
We Eat Turkey
Oh so Good
Oh So Good
Always On Thanksgiving
Yum,yum,yum
Yum,yum,yum 
Mashed potatoes
Mashed potatoes
Oh so good
Oh so good
Always on Thanksgiving
Always on Thanks giving
Yum,yum,yum
Yum,yum,yum
etc… Add your own favorite turkey day feasts foods.
Over the River and Through the woods is also a Thanksgiving song! 

Let’s Be Thankful (To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Let’s be thankful for this day
Four our friends and our play
Let’s be thankful; let’s be glad
For our food and the things we have
Let’s give thanks for you and me
And our home and family.

Fat Turkey’s Song (to the tune of “Did You Ever See a Lassie?”)
Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble,
Fat turkeys, fat turkeys.
Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble,
Fat turkeys are we.
We walk very proudly and gobble so loudly,
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble.
Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble.
Fat turkeys are we.
