IMPORTANT PERSON

Important Person – Hold one child at a time in your lap as you sing this song to the tune of “Lassie and Laddie.”
                 
                  Child’s name is important, important, important.
                  Child’s name is important to you and to me.
                  At work and at play
                  He/she does his/her best each day.
                  Child’s name is important to you and to me.

We Like You – Invite children to brainstorm words that describe good friends.  Write words on index cards and place them in a bag.  Each child chooses a word.  Sing the word to the tune of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

We like you because you’re wonderful.
We like you because you’re wonderful.
We like you because you’re wonderful.
We really like you!

Hint!  You could pin or tape words to children so they could strive for that adjective.
