Here is a wee taster video that you can use over and again.

Once you know the songs you can sing them fast, slow, loud or quiet.

Let me know how you like the songs or send a wee video of you singing.

Many of my music lessons begin with this song

This can be a stand alone activity or play the video before watching a music video, exploring instruments or doing another music activity.

The video is at the bottom of the page.

What to do

1. Feel free to join in and sing, clap, tap and move along to the song
2. Maybe you can try using your voice
3. Sign hello
4. Tap fast and slow
5. Sign “Stop” at the end
6. Have fun!

Words

Hello, hello
Very nice to see you
Hello hello,
How are you today?

Hello, hello
Very nice to see you
Hello hello,
How are you today?

We say “Hello”
We’re very pleased to see you
We say “Hello”
(can you say and sign hello?)

We say “Hello”
We’re very pleased to see you
We say “Hello”
(tap along with the music, sign “Stop” at the end)

Other ideas

• Can you stamp your feet to the music? Can you tap your shoulders or your head?
• If you can’t tap along, maybe a friend can gently tap your hand, arm or foot for you so that you can feel the beat of the music.
• Maybe try playing along with a shaker, or tap something that makes a sound that you like. A box of cereal? A table top? Look around you. What makes an interesting sound?
