If You’re Thankful and You Know It

(Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It“)

If You're Thankful and You Know ItIf you’re thankful and you know it,
clap your hands.
If you’re thankful and you know it,
clap your hands.
If you’re thankful and you know it,
then your face will surely show it.
If you’re thankful and you know it,
clap your hands.

If you’re thankful and you know it,
stomp your feet.
If you’re thankful and you know it,
stomp your feet.
If you’re thankful and you know it,
then your face will surely show it.
If you’re thankful and you know it,
stomp your feet.

If you’re thankful and you know it,
shout “I am!”
If you’re thankful and you know it,
shout “I am!”
If you’re thankful and you know it,
then your face will surely show it.
If you’re thankful and you know it,
shout “I am!”

Thanksgiving Day will soon be here
It comes around but once a year
If I could only have my way,
We’d have Thanksgiving every day.

Wheels on the Bus

The Wheels on the Bus

The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town.

Additional Verses:
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
The driver on the bus goes “Move on back”
The people on the bus go up and down
The money on the bus goes clink, clink, clink
The babies on the bus go waa, waa, waa
The mommies on the bus go shh, shh, shh
The daddies on the bus go “I love you!”

Gingerbread Man

Stir a bowl of gingerbread
Smooth and spicy brown
Roll it with a rolling pin
Up and up and down  
With a cookie cutter,
make some little men.
Put them in the oven
till half past ten!

Actions for Gingerbread Man

Stir a bowl of gingerbread
(pretend to stir a bowl)
Smooth and spicy brown
Roll it with a rolling pin

make some little men.
Put them in the oven
(pretend to open oven door and place cookies in oven)
till half past ten!
