Turkey Poem

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

Frere Jacques

(French Traditional Song
English version: “Are You Sleeping?“)

Frere Jacques,
Frere Jacques,
Dormez-vous?
Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines!
Sonnez les matines!
Din, dan, don.
Din, dan, don.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day will soon be here
It comes around but once a year
If I could only have my way,
We’d have Thanksgiving every day.

Are You Sleeping?

(English Version of “Frere Jaques“)

Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
Brother John?
Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing.
Morning bells are ringing.
Ding, ding, dong.
Ding, ding, dong.

A Great Big Hug

(Tune: “Wheels on the Bus“)

Oh, I just love your hugs and kisses,
Hugs and kisses, hugs and kisses.
Oh, I just love your hugs and kisses,
Come and give me some.

A great big hug and lots of kisses,
Lots of kisses, lots of kisses.
A great big hug and lots of kisses,
Ready? Here I come!

Mr. Turkey

(Tune: “Are You Sleeping?“)

Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey
Run away, Run away
If you don’t be careful
You will be a mouthful
Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day

Tickle the Clouds

Tickle the clouds.
Tickle your toes.
Turn around and tickle your nose.
Reach down low.
Story time’s over–
Wave good-bye!

The Wheels on the Bus

The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town.

Additional Verses:
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
The driver on the bus goes “Move on back”
The people on the bus go up and down
The money on the bus goes clink, clink, clink
The babies on the bus go waa, waa, waa
The mommies on the bus go shh, shh, shh
The daddies on the bus go “I love you!”

Gingerbread Man

Stir a bowl of gingerbread
(pretend to stir a bowl)
Smooth and spicy brown
Roll it with a rolling pin
Up and up and down  
(pretend to roll out dough)
With a cookie cutter,
(pretend to cut out cookies)
make some little men.
Put them in the oven
(pretend to open oven door and place cookies in oven)
till half past ten!
