You have my age kids = )
I so know what you mean about limited attention spans.

My kids love their circle time. Right now we are singing a lot of turkey themed songs here is a link to some cute ones http://www.preschooleducation.com/sthanksgiving.shtml

My kids also like simple action songs like head, shoulders, knees and toes.

We do a none running version of a duck duck goose game, you cut out a small whatever your theme is ( we have done a fish for a bear, a gingerbread man, you could use a turkey) one child sits on the cut out and another child walks around the outside of the circle and tries to guess who has it...

we play a game called hurry scurry

You hide cut outs of acorns around the room and put the kids in two teams and give them both a "base" all the base is, is a print out of a tree...then you say Squirrel, squirrel, bushy and gray.
Please find your acorn right away!
Winter is coming and it will snow.
Find your acorn – go, go, go!
It is all in fun, I reward both groups for their efforts.

Make a turkey by tracing hand and decorating.
