I am GLAD for MANY things!

What a wonderful time of year!!!  To remember all our blessings from our Heavenly Father!!!

This is an activity you can do for singing time while singing the song, I am Glad for Many Things CS151.
While you are singing, pass around a bag full of different blessings.  When the song stops, let the child holding the bag pick out a blessing and tell everyone what it is.  Here are some examples of what you can fill the bag with.
Just write the word or have small pictures...
Jesus, Heavenly Father, Food, Family, Clothes, Pets, Temples, Friends, Home, Water, Flowers, Holy Ghost, etc.

Carve that Turkey

Here's a short and fun song to sing for Thanksgiving time!!!  You need to choose 2 children, boy or girl, to come up and help you.
Sing to the tune of Brother John (Frere Jacques).

Carve that Turkey
Carve that Turkey
Brother (last name of child)
Sister (last name of child)
First you say the blessing
Then you eat the dressing
Won't be long
Won't be long

Have the 2 children pretend to carve a turkey and eat it!!!

Children All Over The World

My mom has had these visuals F.O.R.E.V.E.R.

Seriously.

I remember them from when I was in Primary!  So I thought I would share so that anyone who is feeling ambitious could copy these and make their own.   I love how visuals can help children remember a song.. even when they are "old".  These are the different ways to say thank you all over the world for the song Children All Over The World.  It's a fun song to sing during Thanksgiving time and the children love to put their faces in them!!! 
So thank you, gracias, malo, tak (however you say it) for coming and checking out our blog today!!!
They are made on poster board and colored with crayons and markers!
