A circle is round it has no end, that's how long I want to be your friend. Make new friends but keep the old, some are silver and some are gold. Contact_FullName: Contact_Email: date:: 09/07/03 Area: Songs - Names Idea: This song is to the tune of the "Color Song" (name) (name) is the friend I see If you are (name) please smile for me Stand up, turn around Wave to your friends and then sit down Contact_FullName: tiff Contact_Email: tiffbatton@hotmail.com date:: 09/23/02 Area: Friends-songs Idea: "Friends Hold Hands" -Friends hold hands, friends hold hands, friends hold hands and smile. All my clasmates are my friends, let's sing with them a while.---This works really well for transition time or circle time where all the children hold hands and sing.
9-14-00I made up a cute song that my preschool kids had fun singing. After singing this song a couple of times I have the children sit in pairs looking at one another. When we sing the ending part I like you , I like you the kids then shake each others hands and say : My name is -------- what can I call you. This song really helps the kids to learn to introduce themselves , and to get to know their new school friends.
9-14-00I have a Friend... Everyone sits in a circle and sings... I have a friend named ________, __________is his/her name. Get up and dance ____________, Get up and dance___________, Get up and dance____________, __________may sit down. The children usually jump around but I encourage any kind of movement. For the shy guys, I let them choose a friend to dance with them.
8-27-00This game helps children learn to identify their names and their classmates names. Put every child's name in a box. Sing: Here we go round the friendship circle, the friendship circle, the friendship circle. Here we go round the friendship circle with my friend_______. Then pull out a name from the box. Don't say anything and let the child who's name it is say it's me. The other's will learn to identify the other children's names too. Do this until every name is called.
8-21-00The Name Song There is a school that has a boy/girl and _____ is his/her name. I like _____, you like _____, we all like _____. Stand up and take a bow. (the child named stands up and takes a bow) We have used this as the close to the musical portion of our preschool graduation as well as dismissing children from group to another activity.
8-20-00I use this for circle time. We sing the song "He's got the whole world in His hands"...But we use a a friends name...He got Jacob in His hand...He got Jacob in His hand ...so on and so on. Go around the circle till you sing all the children's names.
7-24-00A little song to welcome everyone to group time. Hello friends, kiora friends, how are you today,
7-24-00Everyone sits in a circle, the teacher holds a ball and repeats this song as she rolls the ball to each member of the circle. Roll the ball to you
2-17-00Here is a song we sing at the beginning of the year and when a new child comes into our classroom. Friends friends 1 2 3 all my friends are here with me. You're my friend You're my friend You're my friend Friends Friends 1 2 3 all my friends are here with me. Amigos Amigos todos mis amigos estan aqui. tu eres mi amigo tu eres mi amiga tu eres mi amigo Amigos amigos uno dos tres todos mis amigos estan aqui.
Date: 1-15-00A Bilingual Preschool Song, that teaches children about friendship and name recognition areaFRIENDS-AMIGOS SONG During circle time we start by greeting each other with this song. (child's name) is mi amigo, (child's name) is mi amigo, (child's name) is mi amigo, (child's name) is my FRIEND. Go around circle so that all children greet each other; to extend this song to movement each child call can either clap, jump) as the entire group sings their name. I teach both Spanish and English only speaking children, and the English speaking children love to hear the word amigos-friends. We later talk about what do friends do: Children respond, We don't fight, we share our toys and computer. We talk things out.
Date: 7-27-99This is a song I made up to introduce a new group of children to each other. Each child comes to sit on teacher's lap to sing if they wish. We sing it every morning until the children learn each others names. We also sing it if we have a new student in our class, or someone just comes to visit. My name is _______, How do you do? I'll be you friend, You'll be mine too! I also use Polaroid photos of each child, hold each photo up and ask the class, "who is this little boy/girl?" Later in the year, I use the photos to take attendance. I ask, "Is Cody here today?",etc. and make two piles of photos, those who are here and those who are not. Then we count together to see how many are here. Date: 7-12-99Sung to the tune Mary had a little lamb Will you meet a friend of mine? Friend of mine? Friend of mine? Will you meet a friend of mine? This is my friend _____________. Date: 11-19-98Sung to the tune of BINGO I have a very special friend and Can you guess her name-o J_U_L_I_E J_U_L_I_E_ J_U_L_I_E_ And Julie is her name-o Insert each child's name as you sing this song. This is also a great transition song for going outside or leaving group time.. |
