Start the day with a welcoming or greeting song, chant or rhyme.

Hello Chant
Hel-lo, Hel-lo, Hel-lo
And how are you today?
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
And I hope you are the same.

The More We Get To-gether (Sing to the tune: "Have You Ever Seen a Lassie?")
The more we get to-gether, to-gether, to-gether,
The more we to-gether, the happier we'll be.
For your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends.
The more we get to-gether, the happier we'll be.

End the day with a closing song

Heigh-Ho Goodbye (Sing to the tune: "Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho" from Snow White movie)
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho,
It's time for us to go.
We'll come and play another day,
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho!

Good-bye Everybody
Good-bye Every-body,
Yes In-deed,
Yes In-deed,
Yes In-deed.
Good-bye Every-body,
Yes In-deed,
We'll see you all next time!
Bye, Bye!

(Hands are constantly waving in a windshield wiper motion throughout the chant/song)
