The Turkey Hop
by Carole Stephens © 2003
Listen to the whole song on H.U.M. – All Year Long! or hear it here:
Don't sit still for this one! Hop, run in place, flap your wings and gobble gobble! When it says "hide from the farmer", scrunch down and hide your eyes. Grown-ups participating can "catch" the little turkeys after "before he catches you!" Do this one over and over – or bring it to your Thanksgiving celebration to work off some of that STUFFING! Goes great with "The Turkey Pokey"–"put your wing in, put your wing out", etc.
| Lyrics: | Do the turkey hop: Hop, Hop,
Hop! Spoken: Did he catch you? No? Let's do it again! |
Age Range: 2 - 6 years old
Purpose: Good ol' Thanksgiving fun, not to mention gross motor skills, listen and do, and identification of "turkey parts!"
