The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.

Ursla Le Guin (1929-2018)

The Left Hand of Darkness, 1969

Hi Hello!

Function: Song

Words: 43

Duration: 1:16

Aim: Show "Hello" is a greeting for any time of day

Hi! hello!
Good morning, good afternoon
Hi! Hello!
Good morning, good evening

Hi! Hello!
Good morning, good afternoon
Hi! Hello!
Good morning, good evening

Hi! Oh, hello!
Hello, good morning!
Oh hi! Hello!
Good morning, good afternoon!
Hi! Hello, oh hello!
Good evening

Usage

Once children are familiar with the words they can walk around the room mingling freely and waving and singing to each other. For younger children (3-5 year olds) have them walk around the room in a line.

Follow-Up

Play "Good Morning Tag" or Sockit!

Notes:

I've also used this song to start large kindergarten classes (40 students plus) and played it while they form a circle.
