Pitch Activity Book - Goodbye everyone
Music Resource Description
The "Goodbye everyone" activity book presents a charming and interactive song designed to bid farewell in a fun and musical way. The song's structure is simple and repetitive, making it easy for children to learn and remember. The melody consists of a series of notes that are sung to the lyrics "Goodbye everyone, glad that you were here," followed by a cheerful "Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye," which adds a playful rhythm to the song. To make the song more engaging, children are encouraged to perform actions in time with the music, such as tapping their knees to the pulse and clapping their hands from low to high during the "Aye, aye" sequence.
This versatile song can be personalised by substituting the word "everyone" with the name of an individual child, making it a delightful and inclusive way to acknowledge each child as they perform tasks such as washing their hands for lunch or preparing to go home. The song can accommodate up to four different names in each rendition, allowing for a rotation of children's names. To further enhance the musical experience, the song can be developed through various methods: singing with actions, humming the tune while performing the actions, or even thinking the song silently with actions. This activity not only provides a joyful way to end a session but also helps children practice coordination and rhythm.
