Sing along with the vocal version of this song.  After you have learned the song, think of things you are thankful for and sing your own words accompanied by the instrumental version. You may want to write out your list, or work together and make a group list.  You can also work in small groups of three or four. Take turns naming things you are thankful for.
After the song, see if you can answer the following questions:
      Can you recall something someone in your group was thankful for?
      What did you say you were thankful for?
      Can you think of something else you are thankful for?

There are many things I am thankful for
I can find them near and far
There are many things I am thankful for
Let me tell you what they are

I'm thankful for the earth
I'm thankful for the sea
I'm thankful for my friends
And I'm thankful to be me.

There are many things  I am thankful for
I can find them near and far
There are many things I am thankful for
Let me tell you what they are

I'm thankful for the sun
I'm thankful for each tree
I'm thankful for my home
And I'm thankful to be me

There are many things  I am thankful for
I can find them near and far
There are many things I am thankful for
Let me tell you what they are

I'm thankful for my food
I'm thankful to be free
I'm thankful for the stars
And I'm thankful to be me
