Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Are you looking for a fun, easy, and age-appropriate song to sing with your preschoolers? I find that young children can relate to Valentine’s day through songs about friendship and caring for others.
“This is the Way We Make Friends” is a cute and easy song that teaches about how we make friends and get along with others in a school environment.
This is the Way We Make Friends is a piggyback song of “This is the Way We Wash Our Hands.”
This can be an easy sing-along or you can create some simple actions like waving or pretending to pass a toy around the room. You can even invite your students to make up new verses with alternative lyrics and actions.
Here are the Lyrics:
This is the way we say hello, say hello, say hello
This is the way we say hello, let’s be friends!
This is the way we share our toys, share our toys, share our toys,
This is the way we share our toys, let’s be friends!
This is the way we take our turn, take our turn, take our turn,
This is the way we take our turn, let’s be friends!
