Hello Song (using ASL):  The More We Get Together

The more we get together, together, together
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be
For your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends
The more we get together the happier we’ll be.

Bubble Song: Adapted version of “Cookie Bakers of the Night” by Laurie Berkner

We are the cookie bakers of the night
We bake our cookies and we stay out of sight
We’re hiding, hiding, hiding from the light
We are the cookie bakers of the night

And first we’ll mix it, mix it, mix it till it’s yummy – mm mmm mmm
Taste it, taste it, yummy in my tummy – delicious
And shape it, shape it, shape it till it’s round
Then roll it, roll it, roll it on the ground and
Jump on over, jump on over, jump on over, jump on over
And cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, those cookies up

[Repeat]

Goodbye song: Goodbye friends

Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
It’s time to say goodbye.
