I call it “HAYKI.” I have used this song for years on kids and they can’t get enough of it. I have written 400 lines to the song and here they are for your use with kids groups. I just ask that you don’t sell this in any way, shape, or form. You can freely use this for free purposes.
Basically, you say the lines below in place of “if you’re happy and you know it.” The kids then clap or don’t clap depending on if the line applies to them or not. It’s only fun if you actually SING the words.
My lines are written for summer camp time, so some of the lines are particular to summer camp.
