Happy Friends/'Iiyus Siiye'yu was designed for everyone! It can be listened to at home, in our cars, or while out on a walk. It can also be used in classrooms as a 30 minute, or 45 minute music & movement class, or one song at a time.

​

We have songs that help participants get acquainted by learning each other's names ("Hickety Tickety") and learn common greetings and good manners. We also have a cleanup song which is great for transitions or as a tidy up song a home or in the classroom on its own. 

​

Here is one example of how to plan a 45-minute music & movement class. The lesson plans start out with stationary songs and activities, then build activity level to travelling movement around the room, winding back down with a calmer focused listening song. One way to close the circle time is to simply sing the last line of our "Greetings" song ("Hey'ewulth, hey'ewulh, hey'ewulh 'iiyus siiye'yu...").

​

Another option is to choose songs that go with a theme, and add a favourite storybook that suits the lesson focus.
