We've all made paper chains for Christmas whether it be for decorations or a count-down chain. How about a "Thankful" chain?!?
Cut 25 1" strips of fall colored paper 8 1/2" long. Write the titles of the songs you would like to sing during singing time - 5 or 6 songs. On the rest of the strips write "I am thankful for __________." Mix the songs with the other strips and make a paper chain.
Hang the chain on the chalkboard, podium, piano, several chairs, any place where the children can see and reach it. Tell the children that on each chain there is a song or an "I am thankful for __________." sentence. If the link has a song on it, the primary will sing it. If it has "I am thankful for __________.", the child will tell something that he or she is thankful for.
Encourage the children to make their own "Thankful" chain at home with their family and see how long they can make it by writing things that they are thankful for.
