Transition Tuesday

Try this fun finger play with your students this month.

Mr. Turkey 
Mr. Turkey went for            (Start with hands behind your back.)
A walk one day                     (Bring right thumb out in front of you.)
In the very best             
Of weather.

He met Mr. Duck                 (Bring left thumb out in front.)
Along the way
And they talked                   (Have thumbs look at each other.)

Together.
“Gobble, gobble, gobble.”        (Wiggle right thumb.)
“Quack, quack, quack.”           (Wiggle left thumb.)
“Good-bye.”                           (Bow right thumb.)
“Good-bye.”                           (Bow left thumb.)
And they both walked back!   (Wiggle thumbs behind your back.)

Taken from Dr. Jean, 2011
