  Pattern 12, Tempo 8

  
  

  Activity Instructions:

  Start rhythm on keyboard. Then sing song, putting each child’s name in the song. Adjust the ending based on the number of children you have – feel free to repeat or not, and add goodbyes to mommies, daddies, instruments, etc, if needed to finish the musical phrasing, depending upon the size of your class.

  Lyrics:
  

  Goodbye, Cya later, adios my friends
  Our time in Rockin’ Rhythms class has come to an end
  au revoir, auf wiedersehen, bon voyage, chiao
  Until we meet again my friends, I’ll say goodbye for now

  |: Goodbye [Name goes here]
      Goodbye [Name here]
      Goodbye [Name goes here]
      Goodbye [Name here]
      Goodbye [Name goes here]
      Goodbye [Name here]
      We’ll rock again next time :|
