[HANASHIR:12351] RE: What d'ya think of this song?

It?s a great song. Have children sing it with the motions. Do you know them?
You have more verses than I?ve ever seen. There are more songs/spirituals
about Noah too. For instance, ?One More River To Cross? and ?Who Built the
Ark?? (call/response) You can weave stories and songs together and keep the
children engaged throughout your lesson about Noah. Why not include the song
or part of the song in your children?s Shabbat service? It?s a great song to
use during the year when the kids need a stretch. I learned it as a child
and loved it.

Okay, so I'm curious about this song. Anyone have any particular opinions
about using it in conjunction with teaching about Noah? In a children's
Shabbat service?
