Materials

• A recording of "Turkey in the Straw"

• A large, open area allowing for movement.

Procedure

1. Play the recording of "Turkey in the Straw" and allow the students time to dance.

Other Lesson Ideas

1. Have a turkey trot.  The students may design the race themselves, whether it's a relay, an individual race, or an obstacle course.

2. Put the students in pairs and give them each a craft feather.  Challenge the students to attempt to keep the feather afloat for as long as possible.  They may blow on it or use an object to fan the feather.
