"we open one eye - we open two
we say modeh ani cause it means thank you
we wash our hentelach 3 times its true
that's what every little girl & boy should do"

then go straight into a modeh ani tune

good morning to you,
good morning to you,
we're all in our places
with bright shiny faces
and this is the way
we start our day
whatever the weather
we'll make it together
and this is the way
we start our day

I have a friend name Sarah,
Sarah is her name,
Stand up and dance Sarah,
Stand up and dance Sarah,
Stand up and dance Sarah,
Sarah go sit down.

OR

Sarah has a lot of friends,
a lot of friends has Sarah,
and all of Sarah's friends are happy to do what Sarah does.
Do this, do this, do this, do this, do this.

OR

Good morning Sarah bobarah bananafana fo fara mi my mo marah, good morning Sarah. (The kids LOVE this and crack up from it. It also helps with their rhyming skills.)

OR a Jewish one:

It's another wonderful morning and Ill start it with a song,
I will say my modeh ani would you like to sing along?
All I have to say is Thank You, I'm so glad that I woke up,
It's another wonderful morning and I'll start it with a song.

Modeh Ani Lifanecha
I'm as thankful as can be,
Melech Chai Vikayam,
That a King as great as He
Shehechezarta bi nishmasi,
Returned my soul to me,
Modeh Ani Lifanecah
I'm as thankful as can be.

I often make up songs for my class, but they're usually to the typical tunes. I'm hoping for something different...

I teach special ed. One thing we do (we use it in Goodbye Circle, but you can adapt) is pass an interesting object around: eg a stringy ball, or a shaky toy, or something, and sing:

______ has the yellow ball, the yellow ball, the yellow ball,
______ has the yellow ball and passes it on to _________.

(to stretch the children, don't let them pass it to the child next to them, make them choose someone else. Even the most non-verbal children manage to indicate who they want, with assistance.)

In my playgroup we sing "________ came to school today, ________ came to school today, ______ came to school today, let's all say hello. And then all the kids say hello to that child. I can't tell you a tune cuz I made it up!

Good Morning, Good Morning!
And how are you today?
Boker Tov, Boker Tov
Is what we say.
How is Sarah?
Child responds: Baruch Hashem!
How is Moshe?
Child responds: Baruch Hashem!
How is Rivky?
Child responds: Baruch Hashem!
Baruch Hashem, Thank you!
(repeat for each child, in groups of three)
We're all Baruch Hashem HEY!
We're all Baruch Hashem HEY!
We're all Baruch Hashem. Thank you.

Sorry, I don't know what the tune is called.

I know the tune, but how can I transmit it over the internet? It is more like a chant. Try a few different made up ideas, and if you find one that fits - use it. Maybe ask a friend of yours who is musical to help with a tune.

Another one we do, is have two students stand in the middle of the circle hold hands and dance/jump while the class sings:
Look who came to school today, school today, school today, Look who came to school today, what's your name?
It's also like a chanty tune.

Sorry I can't help more with the tunes.

Here's another:

Boker tov everyone.
Now the day has begun.
It's time to daven for
Hashem who we adore
Doing mitzvos everyday
Please and thank you while we play (I'm not sure about this line, but that sounds okay, lol)
We make Hashem so proud
So let's all daven LOUD
Torah, tzedaka, muzuzah and more
We love to do each mitzvah everyday and that's for sure!
Torah, tzedaka, muzuzah and more
We love to do each mitzvah everyday and that's for sure

I know the tune, but I don't think it's another song's, so I can't tell you over the Internet. Smile

I'd love to hear these tunes. Maybe we can add a button to add audio, like we can add pictures??
