If you’re looking for a fun and different Primary song to teach the kids, they will love this Children All Over the World song. It’s a sweet and peppy song that is great for teaching about how the gospel is the same around the world and promoting inclusion.
This sweet little song would be great to teach around the Olympics! I like to included it with the Book of Mormon Primary Songs as a fun extra as I think that year is great for talking about how we are all united around the world in Christ.

Children All Over the World Lyrics
This song is published in the Children’s Songbook Page #16
You can find Children All Over the World sheet music here.
Verse 1:
All over the world at the end of day,
Heav’nly Father’s children kneel down and pray,
Each saying thank you in his own special way,
Saying thank you, thank you in his own special way.
“Gracias.” (grah-see-ahs) “Malo.” (mah-loh) “Wir danken dir.” (veer don-ken deer)
All over the world tender voices hear.
Some say “tak,” (tahk) others “merci,” (mare-see)
“Kansha shimasu,” (kahn-shah shee-mah-sue) we thank thee.
Our Heavenly Father hears them;
He understands each tongue.
Our Heav’nly Father knows them;
He loves them, loves them, ev’ry one.
