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.
