Songs and Fingerplays

Song:

The Turkey Ran Away (to the tune of the farmer in the dell)

The turkey ran away

before thanksgiving day

He said they'll make a roast of me

If I decide to stay

The cranberry ran away

before thanksgiving day

He said they'll make a sauce of me

If I decide to stay

The pumpkin ran away

before thanksgiving day

He said they'll make a pie of me

if I decide to stay.

This can also be a feltboard story with a turkey, a cooked turkey on a platter, a cranberry bush, a jar of cranberry sauce, a pumpking and a piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream on top.
