Preschool Songs for Friendship Theme

The More We Get Together

In a circle, the children can stand up or be sitting holding hands to sing this song. The children's name can be included throughout the song. Raffi's version is the most well known.



The more we get together, together, together

The more we get together, the happier we'll be

With Bobby and Jenny, and Sarah and James (optional)

The more we get together, the happier we'll be.

Valentine's Day Friendship Song

Sung to:  "Row, Row, Row, your boat" :

Love, Love, Love your Friends,

Love them all year long.

Especially on Valentine's Day,

As we sing this song!


Although the lyrics are not about friendship, the activity during this song is great for a friendship theme. The teacher needs to find different color scarves and tie into a big train. Then in a circle, the scarf train will come out of the box. The children must work together to gently pass the tied up scarves through their hands, until it makes a full circle and everyone is holding onto the rainbow chain. While this activity is occurring, the teacher and children can sing or listen to the "Rainbow Song:" The following youtube version is a little slow. I suggest speeding up the tempo with young children and the scarf activity.

Lyrics:

Red and yellow and pink and green

Purple and orange and blue

I can sing a rainbow

Sing a rainbow

Sing a rainbow too.

Airplane Preschool Songs

 

The Wheels on the Plane

Suggested tune: “Wheels on the Bus”

The wheels on the plane go up and down, up and down, up and down
The wheels on the plane go up and down, all around the sky.
The workers on the plane say coffee or tea, coffee or tea, coffee or tea?
The workers on the plane say coffee or tea all around the sky.
The babies on the plane go wah wah wah, wah wah wah, wah wah wah
The babies on the plane go wah wah wah, all around the sky.
The mothers on the plane go sshh, sshh, sshh, sshh, sshh, sshh,
The mothers on the plane go sshh, sssh, sshh, all around the sky.
The pilot on the plane says seatbelts on, seatbelts on, seatbelts on
The pilot on the plane says seatbelts on, all around the sky.

I’m a Little Airplane

Sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot"

I'm a little airplane
In the sky
Here are my wings
Watch me fly!
When the time is ready
I'll come down
Gently landing
On the ground

 

Did You Ever See an Airplane?

 

Sung to the tune of "Did You Ever See a Lassie?"
Did you ever see an airplane,
An airplane, an airplane?
Did you ever see an airplane
Way up in the sky?
There are big ones and small ones
Fast ones and slow ones
Did you ever see an airplane
Way up in the sky?
