Welcome Songs for Preschool and Kindergarten

These circle time welcome songs are great for preschoolers and kindergarteners. Each song builds community and name recognition with the students.

Build community and help classmates learn each other names with these tunes. You can listen and watch each video to learn the songs.

The best thing about each song is that kids will be practicing saying their names and learning about their classmates’ names.

1.  Inside Our Classroom

This song is set to the tune “Down By the Bay” and invites kids to learn the names of their classmates. You can listen to this song and the next song in the video below.

2. Do You Know Our Classmate?

For the “Do You Know Our Classmate?” song, you’ll need magnetic letters, printable alphabet cards, or some other visual letter prompts. It’s set to the familiar tune “Do You Know the Muffin Man.”

3. Good Morning

“Good Morning” is a catchy chant that also welcomes each child by name. Plus, you’ll learn different ways to differentiate it for all your students. You can also download the lyrics to the “Good Morning Song.”

4. What’s Your Name

This is an interactive song that will get kids moving their hands and saying their name aloud in a group setting.

5. You Are Here Today

This fun and welcoming song will make kids feel happy about being at school.

6. Good Morning Song

Listen to Allie from No Time for Flashcards sing the “Good Morning Song” using students names and you can also grab the lyrics from her site.—>Watch the Song

7. Mr. Sun Circle Time Name Song

This song uses a sun prop on a craft stick to shine down on each student as you say their name.

Enjoy using these circle time welcome songs to help build community and work on name recognition with your young students.
