Directions for each station Station: gobble, gobble, laugh until you wobble In this station, students work in pairs. Each pair gets one joke. The students have to illustrate the joke on construction paper and then at the end of the party, everyone tells their joke. One person in the pair could ask the joke and the other person could say the answer (after possibly taking some guesses). Station: Craft: Make a turkey hat In this station, students make a simple turkey hat with the provided template. Just cut a strip of brown paper to fit around the child’s head. Station: decorate a cupcake In this station, you will need cupcakes (with icing) ready to go. Have children add any type of candy as the feathers (I used leftover candy from Halloween), candy eyes (I got mine from Walmart), beaks, and wabble. I made beaks and wabble from fruit roll-ups.
