Grade 3 Welcome Song- Hello to All the Children of the World

All third graders will open the performance with the song, "Hello to All the Children of the World." It is a song of unity with kids throughout the world and features greetings in several different languages. This song has been a favorite with the third graders so far. Here are the lyrics:

Refrain: Hello, bonjour, buenos dias
G'day, guten tag, konnichiwa
Ciao, shalom, dobrey dyan
Hello to all the children of the world

Verse 1: We come from different places
From all around the world
We speak in many different ways
Though some things might be different
We're children just the same
And we all like to sing and play

(sing refrain)

verse 2: There's children in the deserts
And children in the towns
there's children who live by the sea
If we could meet each other
To run and sing and play
then what good friends we all could be

(sing refrain)

Here is a video of Ms. Eplin's class working on the song:
