Tune: The Farmer in the Dell
We're glad you're here today

Give a cheer! We're glad you're here,
We're glad you're here today!

Buzzy, Buzzy Baby Bee
Buzzy, buzzy baby bee,
Won't you say your name for me? (point to child)
(I have a pointer in the shape of a bee, which I use to point to, or tap a child on the head - they giggle when this happens)
Jacob!
Good morning, Jacob!
I'm so glad you're here with me.
Good morning, Jacob!
I'm so glad you're here with me.
The Good Morning Train
The Good morning train is coming
How are you? Choo- Choo
The good morning train is coming
How are you? Choo-Choo
the good morning train is coming,
the good morning train is coming,

How are you? Choo-choo
Say good morning (another child's name)

Then you go through each child in your class with the same verse over again until you have included each child's name.... Oh and don’t forget the teachers as well! J
This can be sung as each child gets up and makes a train with the child whose name was called before them, until all children are a part of a long train. Move about the room!
