WE HAD A GOOD DAY (Tune: La Cuckla Racha)
We had a good day, we had a great day. (Wiggle back and forth on feet to the beat.)
So pat yourself on the back. (Pat yourself on the back.)
We had a good day, we had a great day.
So pat yourself on the back.
We thought a lot today (One finger in the air and turn in a circle.)
We learned in many ways,
So kiss your brain. (Kiss fingertips and then kiss brain.)
We thought a lot today, we learned in many ways,
So kiss your brain.
It’s time to say so long and end with a song. (Palms up and wiggle wrists to the beat.)
Wave good-bye to your friends. (Wave hands.)
It’s time to say so long and end with a song.
Wave good-bye to your friends.
Hey, hey, what do you say? (Clap and snap to the beat.)
What did you learn in school today?
When the teacher points your way
What will you say?
(Teacher points to children and they say what they learned.)
Hey, hey, what do you say?
We all had a special day!
Now, turn to a friend and say
What you learned today.
(Children share what they learned with friends.)
