Thanksgiving Day Fingerplay

Every day when we eat our dinner,

Our table is very small. (palms of hands close together)

There's room for father, mother, sister, brother, and me -- that's all. (point to each finger)

But when it's Thanksgiving Day and the company comes.

You'd scarcely believe your eyes. (rub eyes)

For that very same table stretches until it is just this size! (spread hands wide)

Turkey Chase Game

Sit in a circle.  Use two balls, the first to indicate the turkey and second to signify the farmer.  Different colored balls may be used.  First ball is passed around the circle as fast as possible. Shortly after, start second ball around circle in the same direction.  The object of the game is to make the second ball overtake the first.  

Popcorn!

Pretend to be a small round kernel or popcorn with a little water inside.  You are placed in a popcorn popper.  You are becoming hotter and hotter.  The water inside starts to expand.  Finally you POP into a fluffy popcorn which bounces up and down!

Popcorn Song

(Tune: "I'm a Little Teapot")

I'm a little popcorn in a pot,

Heat me up and watch me pop.

When I get all fat and white, then I'm done,

Popping corn is lots of fun!

Animal, Bird or Fish

Mount three envelopes onto a large piece of cardboard or bulletin board.  Glue a picture on each envelope to designate each category.  Provide pictures of animals, birds, or fish.  Sort into correct categories.

Stellaluna

Amazon's Review:

Baby bat Stellaluna's life is flitting along right on schedule--until an owl attacks her mother one night, knocking the bewildered batlet out of her mother's loving grasp. The tiny bat is lucky enough to land in a nest of baby birds, but her whole world has just turned upside down. Literally. Stellaluna's adoptive bird mom accepts her into her nest, but only on the condition that Stellaluna will act like a bird, not a bat. Soon Stellaluna has learned to behave like a good bird should--she quits hanging by her feet and starts eating bugs. But when she finally has an opportunity to show her bird siblings what life as a bat is like, all of them are confounded. "How can we be so different and feel so much alike?" one asks. "And how can we feel so different and be so much alike?" asks another. "I agree," Stellaluna responds. "But we're friends. And that's a fact." Anyone who has ever been asked to be someone they're not will understand the conflicts--and possibilities--Stellaluna faces. This gorgeously illustrated book is sure to be an all-time favorite with readers, whether they've left the nest or not.
