Thanksgiving Songs to Sing with the Kids!

By Merri Cohen, Publisher Mom for Marlboro-Manalapan, NJ November 7, 2011
Besides publishing Macaroni Kid, I teach Mommy & Me classes, and one of my favorite things is to find fun songs for every event and holiday. Here are three of my favorite Thanksgiving songs: 

Hello Mr. Turkey
(Tune of  If You're Happy and You Know It)
Hello Mr. Turkey, how are you? (clap, clap). Hello Mr. Turkey, how are you? (clap, clap)
With a gobble, gobble, gobble and a wobble, wobble, wobble
Hello Mr. Turkey, how are you? (clap, clap)
 
Thanksgiving
(Tune of Where is Thumbkin?)
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Here it comes, here it comes.
Turkey on the table, turkey on the table.
MMMM  good, MMMM good.
Cornbread muffins, chestnut stuffing,
Pumpkin pie, ten feet high.
We were so much thinner, before we came to dinner.
Me oh my, me oh my!

Thank You Song
(Tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)
Thank you for the sun so bright
Thank you for the moon at night
Thank you for my family
Thanks for friends who play with me
Thanks for everything I see
I am thankful, yes sirree!
