Here are some songs to welcome children to a session. For children under 5 it’s great to build up a reassuring routine and songs are an important part of this process. Enjoy singing!
Welcome song (To the tune of Frere Jaques)
Hello, welcome,
Hello, welcome,
Friends are here,
Friends are here,
Let’s all join together,
Let’s all join together,
God is near,
God is near.
Thank you song (to the tune of ‘Happy Birthday’)
Encourage children to think of something they’d like to say thank you to God for and then get singing (filling in the blank with the name of whatever or whoever it is!)
