A Goodbye Rhyme

December 28, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

A Good-bye Rhyme

Wave high, wave low
I think it’s time we’ve got to go.

Wave your elbows, wave your toes,
Wave your knees, wave your nose.

Wave your chin, wave your lips,
Blow a kiss from your fingertips.

Wave your ears, wave your eyes,
Wave your hands and say “Good-bye!”

With Infants

Lay the infant on a blanket or on your lap. Tickle each body part as it is mentioned. Help the infant wave good-bye with their hands.

With Young Toddlers

Either sit facing your sitting toddler, or have your toddler sit on your lap. If facing each other you can mirror your toddler by waving each body part as it it mentioned. If toddler is sitting on your lap, you can help them wave each body part as it is mentioned.

The Good-bye Train

(Tune: “She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain“)

The Good-bye train is leaving.
See you soon. Choo! Choo!

The Good-bye train is leaving.
See you soon. Choo! Choo!

The Good-bye train is leaving.
The Good-bye train is leaving.
The Good-bye train is leaving.
See you soon. Choo! Choo!

Tickle the Clouds

Tickle the Clouds

Tickle the clouds
Tickle your toes
Turn around and tickle your nose
Reach down low
And reach up high
Story time’s over —
Wave good-bye!

The words are pretty clear on the actions that go along with the rhyme.
This is a great rhyme for the end of a storytime or laptime

Variation: Change “Story time” to “Laptime”
