IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.

HAPPY

CRY, CRY WHEN YOU’RE SAD

Tune:  “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”

Cry, cry when you’re sad.
Just between me and you.
Don’t be afraid to shed a tear.
It’s the thing to do.

I HAVE A HAPPY FACE
Tune:  “I’m A Little Teapot”

I have a happy face,
Just watch me grin.
I have a great big smile
From my forehead to my chin.

When I’m upset
And things are bad,
Then my happy face
Turns to sad.
            Jean Warren
(Let your children sing this song as they first make a happy face and then a sad one at the end.)

 
I LOOK IN THE MIRROR

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
I see a happy face smiling at me.

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
I see a surprised face looking at me.
                                    Adapted Traditional
(Use this song while you and your child are looking in the mirror.  Make up other verses as you make additional “feelings” faces.)
 

FEELINGS

Sometimes on my face, you’ll see, (point to chest)
How I feel inside of me.  (point to face)
A smile means happy,  (smile)
A frown means sad. (frown)
And gritting teeth, means I’m mad. (grit teeth)
When I’m proud, I beam and glow, (smile)
But when I’m shy, my head hangs low. (Bow head)

SOMETIMES I FEEL HAPPY

Sometimes I feel happy,
Sometimes I feel sad.
Sometimes I feel curious,
Sometimes I feel mad.

Sometimes I feel silly,
Sometimes I feel surprised.
How many feelings,
Do I have inside?
                                Jean Warren
 

THE MORE WE GET TOGETHER
The more we get together, together, together,
The more we get together, the happier we will be.
Because your friends are my friends,
And my friends are your friends.
The more we get together, the happier we will be.

FEELINGS

Tune:  “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”

I have feelings, so do you.
Let’s all sing about a few.
We get happy, we get sad.
We get scared, we get mad.
I am proud of being me
That’s a feeling, too, you see.
I have feelings, so do you.
We just sang about a few.
