The song is below with the arm movements in parenthesis. May repeat song. After the song have students draw what they think Thanksgiving dinner looks like on the back of the clock. Teacher models the making of the clock and the verbalization and the movements of the song. Check for students' understanding by asking questions throughout the lesson.
Teacher makes a clock along with students but the students put on the hands independently.
Children independently practice putting the hands on the clocks and drawing what they think dinner looks like. May want to use a brad to hold the hands down on the plate instead of gluing them down so the clocks could be used to learn about time. The purpose of this activity is to introduce the natural clocks in our bodies, the clock that keeps us alive. A taped recording of a heartbeat. A video tape of the heartbeat will also work.
