We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Ursla Le Guin (1929-2018)

National Book Foundation speech, 2014

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 Hello 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.
