How it works
The Bible has a book of songs that people sang with harps and drums. This is a thank-you song from long ago, in Israel.
Noa and Eli's family woke with the sun. Grandma called everyone to sing a thank-you song all day long.
They said thank you for the sun, the water, the food, the animals, their friends and the stars. After each one everyone sang back, his love lasts forever!
You can say thank you too, for anything you love. You can make up your own thank-you song, any time at all.
Worked examples
A thank-you walk
- Walk around your home or garden.
- Stop at each thing you love and say thank you.
- After each one, sing the refrain: his love lasts forever.
Sing it back
- A grown-up sings thank you for the sun.
- Everyone sings back, his love lasts forever.
- Clap, and shout hooray, like Eli did.
Name three things
- Think of three things to say thank you for tonight.
- In the song it was the sun and water, bread and sheep, friends and stars.
- Say thank you out loud together.
