I
Am Special
(Tune: “Where Is Thumbkin?”)
I am
special.
I am
special.
Take a
look.
You
will see.
You
will see.
Someone
very special.
Someone
very special.
And
it’s me!
And
it’s me!
*Place
a hand mirror in the bottom of a shoebox and put the lid on top. Explain to the children that the most
wonderful thing in the whole world is in the box. “It’s so special there’s only one like it in the world!” Watch children’s smiles as they open
the box and see their faces!
Looking through My Window
(Tune:
“Go in and out My Window”)
I’m looking through my window.
I’m looking through my window.
I’m looking through my window,
And I see my friend (child’s name).
*Take an old picture frame and spray paint it gold or
silver. Glue on “jewels” or
glitter.
Hold it in front of your face as you sing the song. Pass it to different
children as you use their name in the song.
Important
Person
(Tune: “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.
*Choose one child at a time
and hold them in your lap as you sing the song.
Hand Hug
The children hold hands and
form a circle. The teacher begins
the hand hug by squeezing the child’s hand on her right as she says something
positive about them. That child
then squeezes the hand of the person on her right and makes a positive comment. Continue going around the circle giving
a “hand hug” and a positive comment.
