Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out.Book: Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey
Poem: I Ate Too Much from the Jack Prelutsky book, It’s Thanksgiving. We hooked a balloon up to a bicycle pump and put it underneath a puppet’s shirt. While the puppet talked about all the things he had eaten, we pumped up the balloon, creating the illusion that the puppet’s stomach was getting bigger and bigger.
Book: I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson; illustrated by Judith Byron Schachner. We used an old lady puppet we have who has big mouth that leads to a big pocket inside her belly. We also used little food props to accompany the actual book.
Poem: My Mother Makes Me Chicken from the Jack Prelutsky book, A Pizza the Size of the Sun. We substituted the word “turkey” for “chicken.” As Patrick read the poem he had a fist full of feathers. When he got to the end of the poem, he put his fist up to his mouth and coughed into his hand, blowing out the feathers.)
Song: The Turkey Hop from the compact disc, H.U.M. All Year Long.
Book: Thank You, Thanksgiving by David Milgrim
Puppet Show/Book: Turkey Trouble by Wendi J. Silvano; illustrated by Lee Harper. We performed this story as a puppet show, in place of the actual book. It was highly entertaining! The kids all laughed at Turkey's different disguises
