This 'feel good' song is great for:

  • Singing for Thanksgiving - or any time of year!
  • Preparing and practising the melodic element 'fi'.
  • Practising the rhythms 'syncopa' (quaver, crotchet, quaver / eighth note, quarter note, eighth note) and 'ti tum' (quaver, dotted crotchet / eighth note, dotted quarter note).
