Welcome Song Idea

So I get so BORED with the welcome to primary songs and am furiously trying to teach new ones, but in the meantime I have found a way to change things up and have a lot of fun with it.  For the Hello song I have the visitors choose a popsicle stick and then we split up and sing it using new languages.  Their favorite is Japanese because they have to say "Konnichiwa" so fast. . .they love it!  Another fun way is to say hello like a cowboy (howdy), Australian (G'day), etc. . .

    I do this too! I found cheap flags online (I think about .49 each) of various countries so the visitor picks a flag and we sing "hello" in the language of that country. The kids love it. Japanese is one of our favs too. :)

    My primary loves learning languages! I've only just started them singing "Bonjour" and "Hola" but you've got some I hadn't thought of! Thanks for sharing! They will love this!
