WELCOME SONG (the same tune as the Welcome song in the Primary Songbook)
We sing this as we sit in a circle. We sing it twice, the first time going one direction and the other time going the other direction. We also have a ball that we use to toss to each other when we say that person's name (a bean bag or other object can be used as well). We clap during the first 2 lines of the song and the final line as well. On the last word today, we do a big and loud staccato clap!
Here we are together, together, together
Oh, here we are together at preschool today!
There's _________________ (throw the object)
HI _______________ (everyone says hello, waving their hands to the person)
And ____________________ (repeat as above - the person that
And ____________________ (repeat as above)
(*Sing through as many times as you have people in the circle)
Here we are together at preschool today!
DAYS OF THE WEEK (tune of: Oh my Darlin' Clemintine)
*Hold up 7 fingers while you sing the first 2 lines of the song
There are 7 days, there are 7 days
There are 7 days in the week
(*Now count up on your fingers 1 - 7)
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
**REPEAT (we usually sing the 2nd time through faster)
TODAY IS.... (change the day to whatever day it is, and then do the subsequent changes)
*I don't know what tune this is, it's kind of just like a sing a chant...if I remember a tune, I'll update later!
Today is Monday, today is Monday
Clap your hands! Clap your hands! (clap while singing those lines)
Yesterday was Sunday!
Tomorrow will be Tuesday!
Clap your hands!
Clap your hands! (clap while singing those lines)
WEATHER BEAR (to the tune of: 'Oh my Darlin')
**we do sign language for 'bear' and each of the weather options, such as 'sunny' and so on.
Your children knows the signs, so ask them to teach and share them with you!
What's the weather? What's the weather?
What's the weather, Weather Bear?
What's the weather? What's the weather?
What's the weather, Weather Bear?
Is it sunny? Is it cloudy?
Is it windy, Weather Bear?
Is it rainy? Is it snowy?
What's the weather, Weather Bear?
