Thanksgiving day is quickly sneaking up on us! It is time to decorate with turkeys and gourds. It is time to talk about what we are thankful for. It is time to roast a turkey and mash potatoes!
Here are a few songs to get your kiddos in the Thanksgiving spirit!
What are you Thankful for?
(Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low?)
What are you thankful for? What are you thankful for?
What is it that you love and you always ask for more?
On Thanksgiving day, “thank you” is what we say.
What are you thankful for?
David’s thankful for his mom. He is thankful for his mom.
He wants us to know, he really loves his mom.
Oh Thanksgiving day, “thank you” is what we say.
What are you thankful for?
*The Bold words are to be changed for each child.
I am Thankful
(Tune: Michael Row Your Boat Ashore)
I am thankful. Yes, I am. I say, “thank you!”
I am thankful. Yes, I am. I say, “thank you!”
I always ask with “please.” “Please” and “Thank you!”
I always ask with “please.” “Please” and “Thank you!”
*I use sign language with this song. I sign "thank you" and "please."
Gobble, Gobble
(Tune: Have You Ever Seen 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,
Oh, gobble, gobble, gobble.
Fat turkeys are we.
Turkey Wears His Red Feathers
(Tune: Mary Wore Her Red Dress)
Turkey wore his red feather, red feather, red feather.
Turkey wore his red feather, all day long!
*When I sing this song, I use my felt board and Mr. Turkey. I let the children take turns helping me put all the feathers on.
Happy Singing and Happy Thanksgiving!
