Celebrate
the New Year by learning traditions around the world. This song
contains just a few of the fun traditions I learned about by
doing a simple Google search. You can also ask children what
their families do to celebrate New Year’s Day. Below are a
couple of more ideas for ways to use this song:
SCHOOL PERFORMANCE IDEA:
Different children can hold up props during the verses ( an
onion, a polka dot, etc.)
Make simple rhythm with your hands during the chorus: lap, clap,
lap, clap
Happy New Year Everyone
1. People everywhere have special things to do and say
To celebrate a new year that begins on New Year’s Day
CHORUS:
Happy New Year everyone, we’ll make a toast and have some fun
Take another trip around the sun and wish you Happy New Year
2. When putting on your New Year’s clothes first take a look
around
Then choose some polka dots to wear just because they’re
round
3. On New Year’s Eve an onion on the door brings luck it’s said
On New’s Day then tap the onion on your children’s head
(CHORUS)
4. Gather up a dozen fruits that have a shape that’s round
Or stand upon a chair and then jump down onto the ground
(CHORUS)
5. When you’re getting dressed on New Year’s Eve just out of bed
Put on your brand new underwear in yellow or in red (CHORUS)
6. Pack your favorite suitcase case full and take a little walk
To bring some travel to the year ahead go round the block.
(CHORUS)
7. Bang the pots and pans together, make some happy noise
Join together with your friends and neighbors, girls and boys
(CHORUS)
