    There is a version of "Shehecheyanu" that is great for young children -- it 
might be in Manginot ( I actually have not had time yet to look through my 
book).  I don't know who wrote it or where you can get the music....but I am 
sure someone on the list can help.  Or I would be happy to sing it to you over 
the phone.  Let me know.
    
    The lyrics go like this:  Chorus:  We say shehecheyanu, thank you G-d, for 
every kind of happiness and joy, 
                                                     We say shehecheyanu, thank 
you G-d, for giving life to every girl and boy.
                                    
                                            For the times when I try something 
new, like learning how to swim or tie my shoe
                                            At the start of every holiday, 
there is a very special blessing that we say.
    
                                                    -Repeat chorus-
     
                                             
               There is another verse, but I am suddenly drawing a blank. Then 
the chorus is repeats.
       
    Good luck!

        I teach preschool music at synagogue preschools.  I am looking for 
songs I can use during Thanksgiving that have a Jewish emphasis.  I'm familiar 
with the ones in the Manginot.
        Thanks...Debbie Block
