Goodbye Song: Open Shut Them

December 23, 2020 by Megan

Open Shut Them has always been a preschool music class staple, so I was excited to discover a verse to transform this cute little song into a goodbye song.

I love that this song is easy to sing a capella and it has simple hand motions to include. With the goodbye verse, it’s a quick and easy way to wrap up a preschool music class.

Even though this is such a short and simple song, I find that having a consistent goodbye routine in preschool music class is really important. It helps kids anticipate the transition out of music class and signals to them that class is over.

Here are the lyrics for the original Open Shut Them song along with the goodbye verse. You can find free printable sheet music below.

Open, shut them, open, shut them,

Give a little clap, clap, clap.

Open, shut them, open, shut them,

Lay them in your lap, lap, lap.

Wave them, wave them, wave them, wave them,

High up in the sky, sky, sky.

I’ll wave to you, you’ll wave to me.

Let’s all wave good bye, bye, bye!
