🎶 Lesson Beginning: How to Help a Friend Through Music 🎶

🌼 Welcome to Our Music Adventure!

Hello, little musicians! Today, we are going to explore something very special - how to help a friend! 🎈 Friends are super important, and sometimes they might feel sad or need a little cheer. What better way to help them than with music?

🎵 Let's Start with a Happy Song!

To kick off our lesson, we’ll sing a lively and cheerful song called "The Friend Song." This fun song can remind us of all the wonderful things friends do for each other. Here’s how we can do it:

1. Gather in a Circle: Let’s all sit in a big circle so we can see each other. Friends can help each other out, just like we can help each other sing!

2. Introduce the Tune: Sing a familiar melody, like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." You can say, “We are going to use this tune to help our friends feel bright and happy!”

3. Create New Lyrics Together:

   • Let’s think of actions we can do to help our friends, like sharing toys or giving hugs.
   • Here are some starting lines you can use:
     • “If you’re feeling sad, I’ll sing you a song,
       To lift up your spirit, it won’t take long!”
     • “When you need a friend, I’ll be by your side,
       Together we’ll laugh, there’s nothing to hide!”

4. Invite Everyone to Join In: Let’s repeat the song together, adding some hand motions! You can pretend to hug your friend or point to your heart to show we care.

🎨 Creative Connection

After we sing, let’s talk about our feelings!

• Ask the Questions: What makes you feel happy when a friend helps you? How do you like to help your friends?
• Draw It Out: For those who love crafting, we can draw pictures of us helping our friends. What do you think it looks like when someone helps?

🌈 Conclusion: Sharing Music, Sharing Joy

As we finish our lesson, remember that music helps us share our feelings and support friends who need it. Next time you see a friend who might be feeling down, try using music to cheer them up! You can sing to them, create a song, or just dance to the happy rhythm!

Let’s make sure our hearts sing for our friends every day! 🎤💖
