I shared a whole post with TONS of Fall & Thanksgiving Primary Songs to help you pick out some great songs to teach at this time of the year. You’ll love the inspiration in that post.

For the stars in the sky
Birds that flutter and fly
I am thankful, thankful
For the leaves on the trees
How they dance in the breeze
I am thankful, thankful

With an attitude of gratitude
For blessings, big and small
I’ll show gratefulness and thankfulness
As I praise the Lord of all
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I am thankful

For the bright shining light
Of the Lord, Jesus Christ
I am thankful, thankful
For the life that he lived
And the love that he gives
