Are you looking for a fun and easy song to celebrate a birthday or multiple birthdays in your preschool class?
This song is a great alternative to “Happy Birthday,” and it involves very simple motor actions.
This song can be found in my Birthday-themed lesson plan.
It’s Your Birthday is a piggyback song of “If Your Happy and You Know It”
Here are the lyrics:
It’s your birthday and you know it, clap your hands
It’s your birthday and you know it, clap your hands
It’s your birthday and you know it, and your smile really shows it
It’s your birthday and you know it, clap your hands
Have everyone stand up for the song. If you’re celebrating just one or a few birthdays out of the group, you may want to change “Its your birthday…” to the child’s name. For example “It’s Paul’s birthday…” This way everyone can join in on the clapping. But if you are celebrating everyone’s birthday, keep the lyrics the way they are.
