I'm Special
Rachel Sumner

 Listen to this song.

This song is available on Rachel Sumner's Rachel's Fun Time.

This song is also available as an Individual Song Download.


There's nobody quite like me, there's nobody quite like you
We all have some special things that we can do
So everyone clap your hands and everyone shout hurray!
I'm special, you're special too!

I can sing a song and get other people to sing along
Roller skate and dance 'til dawn
There's something special 'bout everyone!

My best friend (or name) is good at math, she can stand on her head
make people laugh, she can take your photograph
Each person has a different path!

(Spoken) Now I'd like you to think about what you do well.
Can you ride a bike or color pictures?
Maybe you like to swim, or just pretend.
Just remember you're the only you (the only you)!

Motions: Teach motions to the chorus before singing the song.
      "There's nobody quite like me"
            Point to yourself.
      "There's nobody quite like you"
            Point to someone else.
      "We all have some special things that we can do"
            Hold your index finger up making a number one sign. (It means that you are number one!)
      "So everyone clap your hands"
            Clap twice.
      "and everyone shout hurray!"
            Hurray!
      "I'm special"
            Point to yourself.
      "You're special too!"
            Point to someone else.

Activities:
Instead of the spoken verse, stop the song have each child tell you a special thing that they can do, then complete the song with the chorus.
Or ask each child to share their special thing after the song is over. You can have older children write their own verse for the song describing what they do well.
