FORT WAYNE, Indiana (CNN) -- A few days before Thanksgiving, some elementary school students were speaking a language not their own.

Students at Fort Wayne's Harrison Hill Elementary were talking turkey at the school's 10th annual "Gobble-off," a contest with a dual purpose -- to find out which student can make the best turkey impression, and to let all the kids burn off some holiday energy.

Wearing turkey costumes made of brown and colored paper, the kids took turns giving it their best gobble in front of the entire student body.

Lane Bailey was the winner. His prize? A 15-pound turkey.
