(Tune: “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush”)
Today I’m going to meet a friend,
Meet a friend, meet a friend,
Today I’m going to meet a friend and
We’ll be friends together.
Today I’m going to play with my friend,
Play with my friend, play with my friend,
Today I’m going to play with my friend, and
We’ll be friends forever!
(Tune: “This Old Man”)
Find a friend, Say “Hello!”
Help to make your friendship grow.
Be good to friends,
And they’ll be good to you.
Find new friends, keep old ones too!
(Tune: “BINGO“)
To show you like your special friends,
Just give them each a heart
H-E-A-R-T
H-E-A-R-T
H-E-A-R-T
Each heart says “I like you!”
One little friend came to school one day.
He went to the blocks and began to play.
A second little friend said, “Can I play, too?”
The first little friend said, “I’ll share with you!”
So they worked together and built a big town.
And when they were finished, they knocked it down!
One little friend came to school one day.
(hold up index finger)
He went to the blocks and began to play.
(bob hand to indicate movement)
A second little friend said, “Can I play, too?”
(hold up second index finger and wiggle it)
The first little friend said, “I’ll share with you!”
(wiggle the first index finger)
So they worked together and built a big town.
(wiggle both fingers)
And when they were finished, they knocked it down!
(clap hands together)
(Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb“)
You’re a special friend of mine,
Friend of mine, friend of mine.
You’re a special friend of mine,
Please, be my Valentine!
