Identify the doctrine: We are to thank God in all things. I am thankful for temporal blessings. Temporal blessings are blessings we can experience with our senses: sight, smell, sound, taste and touch.

Listening and Singing Experiences:

Junior Primary/Senior Primary


Wiggle Song: If You're Happy (277)
Singing Time:
  1. Tom the Thankful Turkey (10 minutes): Last week the children wrote their favorite songs on the back of construction paper feathers. Using magnets, put Tom the Turkey and the feathers on the board. (Tom and the feathers are under the "table" on the stand with my other music supplies. There is large stack of feathers - use those. There is a small stack of 3 feathers, we already sang those last week, keep them separate from the rest as they are.) Sing as many songs as you can within a 10 minute period. Choose Super Singers (they know the words, they are singing, they are sitting reverently) to choose a feather from the board. Whose ever feather it is gets to "lead" the Primary children in singing it using the "how to sing" sticks (those are in a red folder in the back of my plastic tub with all the flipcharts, there are boy/girl, fast/slow, stop/go, hum, etc).
  2. Children All Over the World (10 minutes): Before singing song to children show them the flags on the flipchart pages and see if they remember the country as you say thank you in that language, then have them repeat "thank you" in that language with you:
    • UNITED STATES (English)
    • GREAT BRITAIN (English)
    • SPAIN (Spanish)
    • TONGA (Tongan)
    • GERMANY (German)
    • DENMARK (Danish)
    • FRANCE (French)
    • JAPAN (Japanese) 
  3. Sing through once. Then break it down for them phrases at a time, using pitch leading, the flipchart, whatever you think helps them most! The flipchart doesn't have a folder but it is located in the front of my flipcharts tub. 
  4. With whatever time you have remaining, you can sing more Tom the Turkey feather songs, other songs about gratitude, or you can write up your own game plan!
