🌟 Feeling Grateful

Introduction

Grateful means “thank‑you” in our heart. When we feel grateful we smile, we hug, and we say “thanks!”

1. What Grateful Looks Like

Red apple, blue sky, green grass – all nice things we can be grateful for.

• One sunny day → “I am grateful for sunshine!”
• Two friendly birds singing “tweet‑tweet” → “I am grateful for birds!”
• Three soft teddy bears → “I am grateful for my teddy!”

We can say “thank you” again and again. Thank‑you, Thank‑you, Thank‑you!

2. How Grateful Feels

When we feel grateful we feel warm like a hug, we feel happy like a giggle, and we hear a gentle “ah‑ah‑ah” of joy.

• One big hug → squeeze
• Two claps → clap‑clap
• Three smiles → grin‑grin‑grin

3. Grateful Words to Try

• “Thank you, Mom.”
• “Thank you, friend.”
• “Thank you, sunshine.”

Repeat the words. Say them slowly. Feel the kindness grow.
