Our bodies are amazing! Help children revel in and appreciate their capabilities with this tune that is inspired by Asher Yatsar

• Listen to song and ask each part of their own bodies as they listen.
• Read lyrics, asking students to finish each line. “I’ve got a nose to ________ and a mouth to _______” etc to help students understand the roles each of their body parts plays.
• As kids to identify each part of their body, discuss what role that part plays in the child’s life. Use the video with children’s families to encourage participation.
• Make your own slideshow, with pictures of your student’s body parts
• Call attention to feelings of gratitude when children’s bodies accomplish a task, as children gain skills like walking, bike riding, balancing, etc.

Lyrics:
I’ve got nose to smell and a mouth to eat
I’ve got fingers to touch and a heart to beat
I’ve got ears to hear and eyes to See
I’m so glad that God made me

CHORUS:
Oh Thank You God for the parts of my body
That help and heal and move and grow
Oh Thank You God for the holes I have
To eat and breath and listen and Go
I’ve got lungs to breath and a belly to know
How to use the food I eat to help me grow
I’ve got a brain to learn and muscles so strong
And I’ve got a voice that lets me sing this song

CHORUS
I’ve got a tushie to sit and legs that run
I’ve got a smile to show when I’m having fun
I’ve got a hips to shake and feet to walk
I’ve got a tongue and lips so that I can talk

CHORUS
We were made in God’s image, so we are holy
I have a soul, so like God I’ll try to be
A creator and a helper everyday
And I am so grateful that I’ll always say
CHORUS
