Transition Tuesday

Thanksgiving Transition: Turkey Says

Put a seasonal twist on the traditional game Simon Says by putting a turkey in charge! Change the game to Turkey Says and give commands for turkey-related movements. If one of your little turkeys forgets to move only when Turkey says, give him a gentle reminder to wait for the turkey's command before strutting his stuff!

Possible movements include the following: flap your wings; scratch the ground; run away from the farmer; peck some corn; strut and say, "Gobble, gobble!"

You could adapt this transition activity by having the "Turkey" help your little ones line up. For example, Turkey says if your name begins with the letter "b" go wash your hands. You could even have the children move to the next activity "strutting like a turkey".
