Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills.

Voltaire (1694-1778)

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.
