Are you embarrassed or frustrated when kids don’t say thank you? I’ve rounded up some free thank-you songs and rhymes that will help the concept stick in your kids’ or students’ minds at any time of year.
Yes, some of the YouTube videos are a bit cheesy. I’m including them anyway because you can teach them songs without the video. You don’t have to make them cheesy. And many of the songs are awesome as is!
Thank You Songs – Videos
Note: A few of these are also in the Free Manners Songs post. Most are different, though. These songs are all about thanking people. Religious thank-you songs will be saved for a later post on gratitude songs.
