8 Songs to Begin a Preschool Day

by Angela Thayer 28 Comments

8 printable songs to start the day. Great for the classroom for community building.

The beginning of the day is the perfect time to welcome students to your classroom and remind them of the friendly environment they come to each day. A wonderful way to do this is through songs, chants, and rhymes. Children love them and it’s also a great way to incorporate music into your day. I’ve written eight good morning songs you can use in your classroom, even if you’re not a singer!

8-songs-to-begin-a-preschool-day

Have you ever noticed how a song has the ability to calm an anxious child, grab the attention of a lively group, and make children happy? Music is so powerful! Singing songs increases positive attitudes and is also a stress reducer. While singing, children can learn about rhymes, rhythm, and how to use their singing voice. You don’t need to be a trained singer to add music to your classroom.

These simple good morning songs are a perfect way to start the day!

Good Morning to You

This song is fun for learning children’s’ names and getting the wiggles out.

Clap a Friend's Name with Me

This chant is also great for learning names for kids in the classroom. You can partner kids up so they can shake hands during the chant.

Hello Neighbor

This song is a fun way to engage the kids in the classroom and practice learning colors.

If You're Wearing Red Today

I love this song for making children feel loved and welcomed in the classrooom.

Where Is ___

This is another one of my favorite songs. The kids love to pump their arms up and shout “Good, good!”

Good Morning Preschool Friends

This one is is super simple and easy for kids to learn.

It's Time to Start Our Day

Lastly, this chant is an easy way to get the kids settled down and ready to start the first part of the school day.

Criss Cross Applesauce

    Hello! I love your website! So many sweet songs I can use with my kiddos. I’m looking for a great song to use as our “good bye” song at the end of the day. Any suggestions?

    These games are nice ways to practice developmental skills, From the clapping, to the speech, to the references to colors and names, they are very nice educational tools.
