Players sit on ground in large circle.
One player is chosen as the turkey.
The turkey must then select a cook who will try to catch him or her and
roast him or her for Thanksgiving dinner.
The turkey walks around the circle, patting each student lightly on the
head and calling each student either "Gobble" or "Cook
me!"
As long as the turkey says, "Gobble," he or she is safe.
When the turkey calls "Cook me!," however, the player tagged
must jump up and chase the turkey around the circle.
If the cook catches the turkey, the turkey must go sit in the centre of
the circle (the roasting pot).
If the turkey sits in the cook's spot before the cook tags him or her,
the turkey is safe, and the cook becomes the next turkey. ·
Talk with the children about animals' sounds. "What sound does a
turkey make?" "A turkey says, 'Gobble, Gobble."
Explain that in the United States many people cook turkey for
Thanksgiving dinner.
Teach or review basic game terminology such as: make a circle, sit down,
you begin, your turn, walking around the circle, saying, gobble, cook
me! not fast enough, not so fast, sit down, in safe, the new turkey.
