“Hi! How are You” is a fun HELLO song by Hey! Mrs. Hays that can be used as a greeting song for circle time, morning meeting or even with the family!
This hello song encourages young learners to socialize in a fun and engaging way in the classroom, at home or when out and about! Use this song in a classroom morning meeting, or circle time for the kinder or preschool classroom. It can also be used at home to practice saying hello and asking others how they are feeling. This song also incorporates body parts vocabulary and models different ways to move.
Teaching children greeting songs can help develop important social skills, such as how to greet people politely and how to start and maintain conversations. Greeting songs can also help children to be aware of others as they show empathy, inclusion and acceptance for others.

💟 Greeting Cards-
Provide children with blank cards and art supplies (crayons, markers, stickers, etc.). Ask them to create personalized "greeting cards" for their family or friends. They can draw pictures, write their names, or even come up with simple greetings like "Hi, friend!" or "Hello, buddy!" Once the cards are ready, have the children deliver their cards!
🔦 Greetings Hunt-
Prepare a set of picture cards or printed images with different greetings (e.g., waving, blowing kisses, high-fiving). Hide the cards around the play area. When you give the signal, the children search for the cards and, once found, demonstrate the greeting shown on the card to a classmate. This game combines physical activity, greeting practice, and a bit of excitement!
