My Friends Are Here Today

My Friends Are Here Today

(Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”)

My friends are here today
My friends are here today
Let’s give a cheer
Let’s give a cheer
My friends are here today!

This song can also be adapted to introduce each child to the group. Replace “My friends” with a child’s name. Wave at the child during the first two lines. Fist pump in the air for the next two lines. Finish by waving again or clapping the rhythm. Be sure to cheer loudly at the end with lots of claps.

*Child’s name is here today
*Child’s name is here today
Let’s give a cheer
Let’s give a cheer
“Cause *Child’s name is here today!
