| To Gramma's house we go, Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho! We're on our way with horse and sleigh, Through fluffy drifts of snow. Oh, what a trip to take. She'll have a chocolate cake. There'll be some pies, of monstrous size, And chestnuts we can bake To Gramma's house we go, Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho! What lovely things Thanksgiving brings; The nicest things we know! |

| Games: |
| You will need a good sized bowl and 6 kernels of corn (the kind used in bird feeders works better than popcorn). Each player takes turns pitching the corn kernels, one at a time, into the bowl from a set distance. Keep score of how many kernels end up in the bowl. The winner is the one with the highest score after three rounds. |

| Everyone sits facing the leader. The leader points to one of the players and says either "BIRD," "BEAST," or "FISH." The chosen player must come up with the name of an animal that fits the category before the leader counts to ten. No repeating! If the player does not respond in time, she is out. The game continues until only one player remains. As you can guess, after a few rounds it can be hard to think of an animal that has not already been mentioned! |
| Use dried beans if you prefer. |

Cut leaf shapes out of the construction paper (use reds, oranges, yellows, and browns to make colorful Autumn leaves). One each leaf, write something you are thankful for. Glue the leaves onto your tree. |
