We are learning a new hello and goodbye song!  The children are so happy that they can pick out so many words that they already know from these new songs and are absorbing the new parts with ease…

We have used a fair few hello songs over the years, if you want to see the main one we use it’s on our Hello Song post.

Both our new songs are from Basho and Friends which you can see here and on YouTube, or purchase their CD from iTunes.

here is our new hello song:

and here is our new goodbye song:

lyrics follow:
Nǐ hǎo Nǐ hǎo
Wǒ hěn hǎo, xiè xie nǐ
