Turkeys & Thanksgiving
Rhymes

 

 

 



Five Little Turkeys

Five little turkeys by the front door-

one waddled off then there were four

Four little turkeys under the tree-

one waddled off then there were three

Three little turkeys with nothing to do-

one waddled off then there were two

Two little turkeys out in the sun-

one waddled off then there was one

One little turkey-you better run away

Because soon little turkey it will be Thanksgiving Day!

 

Brave Little Pilgrim

The brave little pilgrim went out into the wood

Looking for a meal

That would taste really good

First she picked cranberries

Out in the bog

Then she saw a turkey hiding in a log

Run fast little turkey run fast as you may

Or you’ll come to dinner on

Thanksgiving Day  

 

I’M A GREAT BIG TURKEY
Tune: “I’m A Little Teapot”

I’m a great big turkey
‘Cause I’m well fed.
Watch me spread my feathers.
Watch me bob my head.

When I strut around
I waddle, waddle, waddle.
And when I talk
I “gobble, gobble, gobble”.

I’m a great big turkey

Here to say
I hope I don’t see you on Thanksgiving day!

 

 

WALK LIKE A TURKEY
(A movement rhyme)

Walk like a turkey,
Woddle, woddle, woddle.

Talk like a turkey,
Gobble, gobble, gobble.

Run like a turkey
‘Round and ‘round.

But when it’s Thanksgiving
Don’t make a sound!

But Thanksgiving’s coming
So it’s time to run away!
