Hook: The Hello Song

Step 1: Gather Around

Start by gathering the students in a circle. Tell them that you will be teaching them a fun song about saying "hello"!

Step 2: Sing Together

Introduce the "Hello Song." Here’s a simple version:

Hello, hello,
Can you clap your hands? (clap, clap)
Hello, hello,
Can you stomp your feet? (stomp, stomp)
Hello, hello,
Can you turn around? (turn, turn)
Hello, hello,
Can you sit right down? (sit)
🎶

Step 3: Discuss

After singing, ask the students:

• Why do you think saying "hello" is important?
• How do you feel when someone says "hello" to you?

Encourage responses to foster engagement and excitement about the lesson.
