Patience Song
(To the tune of Twinkle Little Star)

I am patient, I can wait
When you’re busy, when you’re late
I won’t cry and I won’t whine
I’ll wait for my turn and time

I am patient I can wait
When you’re busy, when you’re late
(Closing )I’ll wait

Conscience Song

Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See
(make your thumbs and forefingers into eyeglasses to cover your eyes)
Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See
(make your thumbs and forefingers into eyeglasses to cover your eyes)
For the Father up above (spread both arms to the sky)
Is looking down in love (cross both hands over heart)
Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See
(make your thumbs and forefingers into eyeglasses to cover your eyes)

Oh be careful little ears what you hear
(cup your hands behind your ears)
Oh be careful little ears what you hear
(cup your hands behind your ears)
For the Father up above (spread both arms to the sky)
Is looking down in love (cross both hands over heart)
Oh be careful little ears what you hear
(cup your hands behind your ears)

Continue with "Be careful little tongue what you say"
"…feet, where you go" (stomping)


We Are Orderly
(Sing to the tune of Farmer in the Dell while you are completing these activities)

The clothes are in the drawer
There’s nothing on the floor
Yes, we are orderly
The clothes are in the drawer

The shirts are all hung up
The shirts are all hung up
Yes, we are orderly,
The shirts are all hung up

Other verses:
The socks are in the box…

The bed is made so straight…

I dust the dresser clean…

I go to bed in time…

The Courage Song
(sorry, we made up our own tune to this one, and you can, too)

I get courage
I get it free
It comes from God
To me.
I practice courage
Everyday.
To do good things
I’m not afraid.

God gives me courage
To face my fears
I overcome them,
Give a Cheer!
Now I look them
In the face
Cause God is with me
Everyplace.


Free Smiles for Cheerfulness
We can sing this to our kids when they need a smile,
When they need to give us a smile,
Or when they need to remind US to smile)
(to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb)

I will give you one free smile
One free smile
One free smile
I will give you one free smile
Will you give one back to me?

I will give you two free smiles…

I will give you three free smiles…
(Sing it as long as necessary or until you fall over laughing –
have you ever asked a 3 year old to say "three free smiles?")

I
Tell the Truth
(To the tune of Three Blind Mice)
Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Never Lie
Never Lie
If you broke something
Or started a fight
Have enough courage
To say what is right
Even if you’ll get in trouble that night
Just tell the truth
Tell the truth!
