Songs and Poems:
Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout. Down came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. And the itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again.
I Like the Bible I like the Bible. I like the Bible. 'Cause I read it and I do it! I read it and I do it! When I'm reading through it, I read it and I do it!
I obey what I have heard. I'm a doer of the Word. And I like the Bible.
Daniel in the Lions' Den (From: Bible Learning Games: Ages 2 and 3; Rainbow Books: 2000.)
|
Daniel's in the lions' den
|
- Place your hands over your eyes, spreading your fingers and peering through.
Look scared.
|
|
Say, will the lions bite?
|
- Open your mouth wide and close tight. Growl!
|
|
No, no. They cannot do it.
|
|
|
God shut their mouths up tight!
|
- Point up towards God. Cover your mouth with your hand.
|
|
Whisper A Prayer
Whisper a prayer in the morning. Whisper a prayer at noon. Whisper a prayer in the evening. To keep your heart in tune.
God answers prayer in the morning. God answers prayer at noon. God answers prayer in the evening. He'll keep your heart in tune.
Going on a Lion Hunt Have children repeat each verse after you.
Have them alternate slapping their thighs and clapping their hands to the rhythm of the story.
Refrain: We're going on a lion hunt. We're not afraid. We're going to catch a big one! (Spread arms open wide.) But look! What's that ahead? (Place your hand above your eyes as though you were looking far away.)
Uh-oh. There's mud ahead! Can't go over it. Can't go under it. Can't go around it. Better go through it. (Make sloshing sounds and move hands and feet as if wading through mud.)
Refrain
Uh-oh. There's a lake ahead. Can't go over it. Can't go under it. Can't go around it. Better swim through it. (Make swimming motions.) Refrain
Uh-oh. There's a gate ahead. Can't go over it. Can't go under it. Can't go around it. Better go through it. (Gesture as if you open a gate, walk through, and close it.) Refrain
Uh-oh. There's tall grass ahead. Can't go over it. Can't go under it. Can't go around it. We'd better crawl through it. (Crawl around, moving your hands to push the grass out of your way.)
Refrain
Uh-oh. There's a cave ahead. Can't go over it. Can't go under it. Can't go around it. Guess we'll have to walk into it. (Tip toe quietly.)
Look to the left. Look to the right. Look Up. Look Down. I think I see some big eyes! (Place fingers to form circles around eyes.) I think it's a LION! (Throw arms back and make scared faces.)
Run out of the cave! Crawl through the grass! Open the gate! Swim across the lake! Wade through the mud! Run into the house! Close the door! Run up the front stairs!
Crawl under your bed!
Whew! We made it! (Wipe forehead.) And we weren't afraid! (Shake head 'No.')

Songs and Poems:
Thank You God By M. Hubbard (Tune: London Bridge)
We thank you God, everyday, everyday, everyday.
We thank you God, everyday. We say "Thank You!"
(You can insert 'for our food', 'for good friends', 'for family', 'for Your Son', 'for Your love', etc. instead of 'everyday'.)
If You're Thankful and You Know It (Tune: 'If You're Happy and You Know It') If 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.
(stomp your feet, say "Thank you God", do all three)
Turkey Strut (Tune: 'The Hokey Pokey') (from Little Hands Fingerplays and Action Songs: Seasonal Rhymes and Creative Play
for 2 to 6 Year Olds by Emily Stetson, p. 34.)
You put your right wing in. You put your right wing out. You put your right wing in, and you shake it all about. You do the turkey strut and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
Additional Verses... left wing (left arm) drumstick (leg) stuffing (belly) wattle (head) tail feathers (backside) turkey body (whole body)
Poem to Accompany the Handprint Turkey Card
This isn't just any turkey, As anyone can see. I made it with my hand, Which is a part of me. It comes with lots of love, Especially to say, I hope you have a very
Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Songs and Poems:
Wee Willie Winkie
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town, Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown, Tapping at the window and crying through the lock, Are all the children in their beds,
it's past eight o'clock?
God Provided (Tune: 'Itsy Bitsy Spider') (By M. Hubbard)
The prophet Elijah listened and obeyed God. He went to the king and told him it wouldn't rain. The land was dry and nothing would grow. But God provided for Elijah!
My God is So Big
Chorus: My God is so big, (Move your hands out from each side, as far apart as possible.) So strong and so mighty,
(Make a muscle with your left arm. Repeat with your right arm.) There's nothing my God cannot do. (Shake head 'No' and point up.)
(Clap 2 times.)
Repeat Chorus
The mountains are His, (Make upside down "v" with hands and arms to represent mountains.) The valleys are His, (Make "v" with hands and arms to represent valleys.) The stars are His handiwork too. (Hold hands above head, rapidly moving fingers like twinkling stars.)
Repeat Chorus
