(20) God said, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and birds that fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” (21) God created the great lizards, and all the living creatures of every kind that creep, which the waters brought forth in swarms, and all the winged birds of every kind. And God saw that this was good. (22) God blessed them, saying, “Be fertile and increase, fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” (23) And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

(27) And God created humankind in the divine image,
creating it in the image of God—
creating them male and female. (28) God blessed them and God said to them, “Be fertile and increase, fill the earth and master it; and rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and all the living things that creep on earth.” (29) God said, “See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food. (30) And to all the animals on land, to all the birds of the sky, and to everything that creeps on earth, in which there is the breath of life, [I give] all the green plants for food.” And it was so. (31) And God saw all that had been made, and found it very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

If they can sing a song for each day, it's better.
Give two minutes to find a song - other wise here are possibilities:
"I've been working in the railroad all the live-long day" // Night and day, you are the one
"Mayim Mayim be sasson"
"this land is my land"
"you are my sunshine"
" Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees"
Any animal song
You should have a magen david now.

(3) And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy—having stopped on it from all the work of creation that God had done.
Kid with big sign Shabbat is set in the middle of the magen david.
