This song is available on Margie La Bella's Mixing It Up!
Everybody sing hello. Hey hello. Hey hello.
You can do it if you think so. Hey hello. Hey hello.
Everybody sing along. Hey hello. Hey hello
We are here where we belong. Hey hello. Hey hello.
We can dance. We can play. Hey hello. Hey hello.
Music is what we’ll make today. Hey hello. Hey hello.
Come on in. Let’s be friends. Hey hello Hey hello.
It is time to pretend. Hey hello. Hey hello.
(Bridge)
Just remember, there is no one quite like you.
You might be surprised at what you find that you can do.
It’s in your hands. It’s in your feet. Hey hello. Hey hello
It’s in your knees, in your heart beat. Hey hello. Hey hello.
So, look up here. Watch, 123. Hey hello. Hey hello
Do the same thing just like me. Hey hello. Hey hello.
Benefits: Good for encouraging language via catchy, predictable, repeated “hey, hello” phrase. To elicit more interaction, try singing hello into a mic. (Party stores sell cheap, fun toy mics).
Other Uses: Young children can tap a moving tambourine or drum decorated with eye-catching streamers as you greet them, or they greet each other. They can also shake hands, gesture, or sign. Older children can perform two claps after each “Hey hello.”
Discuss topics of 1.) What can I do that is special? 2.) How am I special? 3.) Things I didn’t think I could do, but did.
