My grade level partner & I have to come up with a song for 49 kindergarteners to sing/ make motions for a small skit that is being presented to elderly people at the end of April. Any ideas for something fun and easy?

The song is "Make New Friends". Here are the words:

Make new friends,
but keep the old.
One is silver,
the other is gold. A circle is round,
it has no end.
That's how long,
I will be your friend.
A fire burns bright,
it warms the heart.
We've been friends,
from the very start.
You have one hand,
I have the other.
Put them together,
We have each other.
Silver is precious,
Gold is too.
I am precious,
and so are you.
You help me,
and I'll help you
and together
we will see it through.
The sky is blue
The Earth is green
I can help
to keep it clean
Across the land
Across the sea
Friends forever
We will always be


the words are appropriate to kinders, but also to the elderly, as they have old and new friends too. Here's a link to the song on youtube, so you can hear the tune. I think motions can come naturally from the lyrics, holding hands, making circular motions, etc. Good luck.

Lisa Loeb (the singer of the song Stay with the glasses) has two great kids books that come with CD's. The songs are really easy and have actions to go with them.
