Good Morning Song For Preschool – Lyrics & Video

Looking for a great good morning song for preschool? I have a good morning song for kids that everyone LOVES! It’s the perfect way to start circle time and if you are someone who needs help with the tune and lyrics don’t worry. I have the good morning song lyrics right here for you in a video. If you need more than just a good morning song and are looking for help with how to structure or real with circle time misbehavior… Check out how to handle a disruptive child at circle time. 

 

Good Morning Song

I sat down to write a post about my circle time routine and give lesson plans for the first week of school but as I wrote out my circle time routine for the start of the year and my best tips (spoiler alert – keep it as short as possible), I realized I never wrote out my Good Morning Song lyrics or shared the video here on the blog. I shared the Good Morning Song in a video  No Time For Flash Cards Facebook Page, and it’s been viewed over 270,000 times, but I never shared it here. Please note that I didn’t write this song. It’s one of the many preschool songs I have picked up over the years of teaching.

I love this good morning song, but it’s not set to a recognizable tune. You’ll need to watch the video to learn the tune and the actions.

 

Good Morning Song Lyrics

Good Morning Lyrics:

Good morning to you, good morning to you!

We are all in our places with bright shiny faces and I say to you, good morning to you!

Good morning ____(child’s name), good morning ___(child’s name), good morning __(child’s name) we’re glad you’re here today!

(Continue until every child and every teacher in the classroom is named.)

Good morning everyone we’re glad you’re here today! Hooray!

I hope this song gives you another option for a good morning song that might work for your class. While it’s my favorite and I always start out with it, sometimes a class needs something new for the right fit. Being preschool teachers, we have to be flexible and having options is key! So try this out and if you have a great good morning song you use, please share it in the comments. I’d love to hear it.

Also, here is a link to the circle time chant I mention in the video. I use them both at circle time but, when the kids are wiggly I drop the chant. The key to a great circle time is making it successful for your students.

    I have used this song at least the good morning child’s name, part and we will clap or stomp or snap along with the “we’re glad your here today” part. I start out choosing our “sounds” then as we go through the year I let the kids decide and vote on what we should do during the song! It’s so fun.

    Very nice song! I was wondering how you sing the verse if you do not have three children’s names to put in.

    Allie, I have admired and loved your work for many years, now! Thank you SO much for emphasizing the benefit of including the names of those not quite ready to sit and be ready to sing. I do storytimes at the library and I feel such a pain in my heart when parents withhold participation because their child isn’t conforming to model behavior. I want to create a safe place for children to learn the routine of storytime and find their own way to comfortably participate. My joy comes from seeing children AND parents settle into the routine and then learn to enjoy each other during that time.

    Ok so I’ve been searching all over the internet for this tune. My mom used to sing it to me every morning.
    Good morning, sunshine
    Good morning, sunshine
    Good morning, sunshine
    I’m so glad you’re here.
    Then repeat good morning with our names.

    Do you have any idea where this song originated?
    I’ve meet like 5 people that sing a variation of it but with different words after good morning! All say they made it up!
