I have a delightfully easy chant that teaches simple musical concepts to young children. It can be found in my Fast and Slow Music Lesson Plan but can be used in any context and repeated throughout the year. This is a great song to greet your class or say goodbye.

You can clap and encourage your students to clap as you chant out the words:
Bread and butter
Marmalade and Jam
Let’s say hello (or goodbye) as quiet as we can (whisper: goodbye)
Repeat with these various concepts:
… as loud as we can
…slow as we can
…fast as we can
…high as we can
…low as we can
…nice as we can
I hope you find this activity helpful and can utilize it in your classroom!
