Tactile Thanksgiving

source

I think this repetitive singing activity would work for reinforcing I'm Thankful to Be Me. The tactile portions would be great in Junior Primary. Senior may think it's to babyish...

• Sing
• Pick a child to choose a turkey feather to stick on the turkey body. The feather has a question, followed by something to do the next time you sing.
• Sing and do the action (well, the sign ones you don't do while you sing...).
• Pick a child
• Sing
• Pick
• Repeat...
