Thanksgiving is less than a month away!! And I can already tell you what food items that my family have been asking for!!
Turkey
Mashed Potatoes
Candied Yams
Pumpkin Pie
Pumpking squares with cream cheese icing
Lets be honest the list could go on and on. Is there a favorite food that you have at thanksgiving time that you just can’t get enough of??
For me I absolutely love my turkey dinner!!
So it was a delightful surprise when our family came across this song by Hap Palmer called A Turkey Tale.
The lyrics go like this:
A turkey ran way before Thanksgiving Day
Saying, “You would make a meal of me if I would stay.”
And it ran, and it ran, and it ran, and it ran
Through the ice and freezing snow
And it ran, and it ran, and it ran, and it ran
As fast as it could go
Thanksgiving Day at the crack of dawn
The farmer shouted, “The Turkey’s gone!”
He followed its tracks to the barn next door
Where a stack of hay was piled on the floor
Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hsy
Hiding from the farmer Thanksgiving day
Roll ’em up, twist ’em up, high tuck-a-haw
And sing a little tune called Turkey in the straw
The song goes on but isn’t that song darling??
This song is definitely one you have to check out because the activity that you can do with it is just super awesome!!
Once you have played this song A Turkey Tale by Hap Palmer for your kids!! Give them the following instructions:
Tom Turkey doesn’t want to be eaten by the farmer on Thanksgiving Day. So your little turkey needs a disguise. Finding items around the house dress up your turkey so that he won’t be found by the farmer
or better yet!!
