Happy Flannel Friday!
This Guest Post is another swap from our First Annual Storytime Swap. (I am loving all the cool activities that were shared in our swap! And I am excited to be sponsoring another swap for Flannel Friday's upcoming birthday. Keep an eye out for the details ~ they are coming soon!)
This item was sent from Ann to Lauren, who described it as "very cute" and I agree! Don't you?
Ha, Ha, Turkey in the Straw
by Jean Warren
(Sung to: "Skip to My Lou")
Turkey in the brown straw, ha, ha, ha.
Turkey in the brown straw, ha, ha, ha.
Turkey in the brown straw, ha, ha, ha.
Turkey in the straw, my darling.
Turkey in the white snow, ho, ho, ho.
Turkey in the white snow, ho, ho, ho.
Turkey in the white snow, ho, ho, ho.
Turkey in the snow, my darling.
Additional verses:
Turkey in the blue shy, hi, hi, hi.
Turkey in the red barn, harn, harn, harn.
Turkey in the yellow corn, horn, horn, horn.
Turkey in the green tree, hee, hee, hee.
Directions:
Place all the felt shapes, except the turkey, on the flannelboard.
Then sing the song with the children and let them take turns
placing the turkey on the appropriate shapes.

Audience participation! You gotta love that!
In case you have been reading all of the swap posts, you may have noticed Ann's name mentioned many times. She actually swapped 6 times! She did 4 flannel swaps and two prop swaps. Just imagine all the fun that her preschool class is going to have with their 6 new activities. :o)
Thanks for swapping and sharing, Ann!
I like the rhyming in the song. Honestly, I haven't ever heard some of those verses before. :) It is a great way to promote those early literacy skills!
ReplyDeleteGreat for farm themes, which is popular in my rural area!
ReplyDeleteI love these verses...adorable ~ jane
ReplyDeleteMy storytime friends enjoy this song every time I use it. But I haven't used flannel pieces with it before :0/ It would be great to pass out the pieces and have each child bring it up to the board at the appropriate time. :o)
ReplyDeleteAdding this to my TBM (to-be-made) pile, for sure!
Thanks, Ann!

I love this and could see using it for Thanksgiving as well -- sometimes it's just fun to highlight the turkey!
