Five Little Pilgrims

Five little Pilgrims on Thanksgiving Day
(hold up hand and count off fingers with the rhyme)

The first one said, "I"ll have cake if I may."

The second one said, "I'll have turkey roasted."

The third one said, "I'll have chestnuts toasted."

The fourth one said, "I'll have pumpkin pie."

The fifth one said, "Oh, cranberries I spy."

But before the Pilgrims ate their turkey dressing,

They bowed their heads and said a Thanksgiving blessing.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving Dinner

Every day when we eat our dinner

Our table is so small
(interlace fingers of each hand, pushing fingers together, palms down, and thumbs extended to be table legs)

Just room for Mother, Father, Sister, Baby, And Me-that's all

But when Thanksgiving comes and company

You'd scare believe your eyes
(pull fingers and hands apart as far as possible keeping finger tips interlaced)

That very self-same table

Stretches out until it's this size.

The Turkey

(Open left hand, palm facing forward, place right hand fist in center of left palm with thumb extending outward)

Gobble, Gobble
Says the Turkey
(wiggle thumb so show turkey speaking)


Soon t'will be Thanksgiving Day

Will you eat me?

How you treat me!

I will run away!

(wiggle fingers and move both hands quickly behind back as turkey runs away)

Turkey is a Funny Bird

A turkey is a funny bird

(hold up one hand)


Watch him wobble, wobble

(sway hand)


All he knows is just one word


Gobble, gobble, gobble!
