Let’s Celebrate

People all are different,

[point to everyone]

Each one is unique.

[hold up one finger]

I can tell when I see them,

[point to eyes]

I can tell when they speak.

[point to mouth]

That’s what’s so exciting,

That’s why our world is so great.

We all are different,

[point to everyone]

Come, let’s celebrate!

I Am Different

I am different from my head to my toes,

[point to self; then head and toes]

I am different from my eyes to my nose.

[point to self; then eyes and nose]

I come from a place that is far and wide,

[point to self; then spread arms wide open]

A place where we all smile instead of cry.

[trace a smile]

I am very different as you can see,

[point to self; then at a friend]

But I still have a lot of love in me!

[point to self; then place hand over heart]
