Instructions
1. Sing the song below prior to dismissing the children each day. Have them sit
on the floor in a circle with you. Use a hand puppet, if desired.
2. For the second part of the song, insert each child's name and repeat until all
are mentioned. As each child's name is called, she stands and gives the
puppet a hug and then goes and sits in her chair.
Departure Song by Diane Weiss
(Tune: "Goodnight, Ladies")
So long children,
So long children,
So long children,
School is over today.
Goodbye, (child's name),
Goodbye ,(child's name),
Goodbye, (child's name),
It's time for you to go.
I'll see you tomorrow,
I'll see you tomorrow,
I'll see you tomorrow,
With a great big smile!
