Shalom Song

Hello, hello, shalom, shalom.
Tell me how you are ha yom.
I’m fine thanks, todah rabah.
We welcome you, baruchabah.
Shalom to (name), so nice to see you.
Shalom to (name), so good to see you too.

Repeat last two lines substituting each child’s name until you’ve gone around the whole room. Have everyone wave to each specific child as they greet him/her.

I also wrote my own English version. Here it is:

Hello, hello, good day, good day.
Tell me how you are today.
I’m fine thanks, and how are you?
We welcome you, we truly do.
Hello to (name), so nice to see you.
Hello to (name), so good to see you too.

Please e-mail me if you want the tune! i_luv_falsetto@comcast.net

Thank you very much!

Goodbye song with signs…great for SEN and young children

Goodbye children – thumbs up, wave and point to the children
Goodbye children – repeat actions

hello how are you
hello how are you
hello how are you how are you today

Alice is here today
Alice is here today
Alice is here today
nice to see you Alice

and so on

you can maybe give them something like a laminated photo of them with Velcro on the back and they can put on the wall

Good Morning song I’ve used in my Pre-K class for years (to the tune of If You’re Happy and You Know it):

Good Morning, Good Morning how are you? (clap, clap)
Good Morning, Good Morning how are you? (clap, clap)
How are you this special day, I’m glad you came to play,
Good Morning, Good Morning how are you? (clap, clap)

It’s time to say goodbye, say Bye-Bye-Bye
Bye-Bye-Bye, Bye-Bye-Bye
It’s time to say goodbye, say Bye-Bye-Bye
Thank you & Good bye.,

This is what were singing in my nursery class.,
Easy for them to sing & remember the lines especially for an EFL learner.

At the end of each class we sing:
“Goodbye everybody, toodooloo, toodooloo, toodooloo.
Goodbye everybody, toodooloo.
We’ll see you the next time. Have a good afternoon, OK!”

You can substitute other words for “afternoon” such as “vacation”, “summer”, or “weekend”, etc.

**(make arm movement like a train conductor pulling the bell for cho choo && have the children clap to the rythem of the song while the instructor is singing the lyrics**

And will all say hi to (kids name) Marissa when it comes cho cho
And will all say Kevin when it comes cho cho
and will all say hi to Carina and will all say hi to Kendra and will all say hi to Martin when it comes cho cho.

And after you sing it so everyone has a chance to say there name you sing..
And will all say hi to everyone
and will all say hi to everyone
and will all say hi to everyone when it come CHOO CHOO.

another song you can sing is

We do the song similar to Brenda’s

“Hello Alan Smith, how are you?”

“Hello Alan Smith, it’s so nice to see you”
“Hello Alan Smith, how are you?”

Tune is:

Hel – lo Alan Smith how are you?
G C C C C B C D

Hel – lo Alan Smith how are you?
G D D D D C D E

Hel – lo Alan Smith its so nice to see you
G F F D F F E E E C
Hel – lo Alan Smith how are you?
E D D D C B B C

Rhythm is:

Hel – lo Alan Smith how are you?
1 2 3 4 1 2 3
Hel – lo Alan Smith how are you?
4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3
Hel – lo Alan Smith its so nice to see you
4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

The child can reply with teir own feelings (”I’m happy”, I’m well”), it is their choice. Thus we have covered PSH (Personal, Social, Health) lesson into the song.

Reply from the child is not not needed, though.
