Tune: Five Little Ducks
Five little pilgrims sailing in a boat (hold up 5 fingers)
Over the sea and water they float (make wave motions with hands).
One little pilgrim said, "I see land!" (hold up one finger, then hold other hand
above eyes as if searching).
It's America, so grand (fold hands and bow head as if to pray).
Continue the song, subtracting the number of pilgrims as you go until there are no pilgrims.

Our family sings the Cocomelon "Thank You Song" for Thanksgiving. At the 3rd 'What are you thankful for?' line we each tell what we are thankful for. It is great to hear the things my kids are thankful for that I didn't even realize they thought about or appreciated.
