Thanksgiving Songs, etc. (Indian theme for Kindergarten)?!?

Question

I am looking for some ideas for Thanksgiving activities for my K class. I think that I am going to have them make indian headbands and use patterns and have various shapes. I also am going to have them make indian drums (cover coffee tins with construction paper). I really am looking for some songs that we would be able to somehow fit a drum-like rhythm to..HELP! Thanks!!

Answer 2

I make handprint/footprint turkeys.  Paint their hands whatever colors they want, then use them as the feathers.  Use their foot (painted brown) and toes (4 painted orange. 1brown) for the body and feet.  Glue on google eyes, beak, and waddle.

I also color corn (with food coloring and water) and let the kids make cool designs with it.  We've also made the headbands, but sometimes make a turkey head on the front with feathers on top for the turkey's feathers.  Very cute!

My kids' favorite Thanksgiving song:

I'm a little turkey,

Short and fat.

Here are my feathers, here is my hat.

Gobble, gobble, gobble is what I say.

Quick! Run!  It's Thanksgiving Day!

It could use a simple drumbeat with it...Have fun!
