  Do the Turkey! This is a classic funny high five that dates all the way back to at least the early 1990's. It's a holiday favorite that makes less and less sense the further you get from Thanksgiving (unless you live on a turkey farm, or your nickname is "Turkey," in which case people probably aren't high-fiving you much anyway). This funny high five is pretty much guaranteed to amuse you and random bystanders to no end. Here's how it's done: As your partner raises his or her hand, make yours into a fist with your thumb out and extended back to point behind you. Put your fist against your partner's palm -- your thumb becomes the turkey's head, and their palm becomes a fan of tail feathers! It doesn't hurt to say "gobble gobble" at this point.  Either click the picture for the hyperlink or go to:  Turkey High Five— share one with a friend.

  Sing this song to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know it.”  Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble says the bird.  Mr. Turkey Gobble Gobbles,  And his feet go Wobble Wobble.  Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble says the bird.  Start off slowly, then each time you sing it, go faster. It becomes hilarious. It’ll stick in your head. If you need Mrs. Sigmon to come sing it to your class, or if you’d like to hear her turkey call, just let her know. Silly Songs With Sigmon
