Hello, amazing friends! Today, we’re going to have fun singing a special song called the Good Morning song. It’s a happy way to start the day and say hello to everyone!
Here are the words to the song:
Good morning to you,
Good morning to you,
Good morning, dear friend,
Good morning to you.
I’m glad to see you,
I’m glad to see you,
Good morning, dear friend,
I’m glad to see you.
You can make the song even more special by adding someone’s name where it says “friend.” Try it like this:
Good morning, dear Jennifer,
Good morning to you,
Or good morning, dear Mommy,
Good morning to you.
Think about whose name you want to sing. It could be your friend, your teacher, or even your pet! You can also say good morning to yourself because you are special too!
Have fun singing and spreading smiles with your Good Morning song!
See you later, alligator!
Personalized Songbook: Create a special songbook with your child. Have them draw pictures of the people they want to sing the Good Morning song to, like family members, friends, or pets. Encourage them to write the names of these people under the drawings. This activity helps children connect the song to real people in their lives and makes it more meaningful.
Morning Greeting Circle: Organize a morning greeting circle with your child and their friends or family members. Each person takes a turn singing the Good Morning song, inserting the name of the person next to them. This activity encourages social interaction and helps children practice remembering and using names, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Observation Challenge: Ask your child to notice how people greet each other throughout the day. Encourage them to observe different ways people say “good morning” or greet each other in various settings, like at school or in the neighborhood. Later, discuss these observations and talk about how greetings can make people feel happy and welcomed.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
