Greeting

Friends in Our Class

(sung to the tune of Addam's Family)

Friends in our class [snap, snap]
Friends in our class [snap, snap]
Friends in our class, friends in our class, friends in our class [snap, snap]

(say each student's name in the circle)

There's [name], and there's [name], There's [name], and there's [name],
There's [name], and there's [name], we're here to learn and play.

(repeat until everyone has been greeted)

Mirror Me

Choose one student to start.
The student will chant, 

"My name is ___ and I can do this!" 

and then do a rhythmic action
(clapping, stomping, snapping, etc,) 

The class will respond by saying,

"His name is ___ and he can do this!"

 and copying their movements.
