My Dreams Can Come True
My Dreams Can Come True
(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)
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.
Have students stand and walk around in a circle until the teacher says freeze. Then call out a greeting:
curtsey
bow
high five
fist bump
pinky shake
elbow bump
Repeat a few more times before calling students to the circle.
Have students sit in a circle. Go around the circle and have class join you in a cheer for each student:
Tate, Tate, Give a Cheer!
We're so glad that Tate is here!
Repeat until every student has been greeted.
