Is the sentence "Do the all things that makeS you happy" incorrect?
I wouldn't use "makes" with an S at the end but maybe it refers to the expression "do the all things" not to the "things"
What do you think?

No it is grammatically incorrect :
Correction : Do all the things that make you happy.
N.B things is already in a plural form there keep your verb '' makes'' in singular form which is ''make''.

Hello Izabela !
The correct answer is "make".
Here's a easy rule to help you remember how to use it correctly in the future.
E.g. These hats make me happy( note that "hats" is in plural(many) form)
This hat makes me happy(note that "hat" is in singular(one) form)
- When the noun is in singular form the "s" goes to "make" and it becomes "makes"
When the noun is in plural form the "s" falls away from "makes" and it becomes "make".
I hope this helps :)

Nicey said,Izabela! If in doubt, go back to grammar basics , I suggest.
THINGS is a plural noun, so THEY make you happy.
I agree!
