Harmony Day Welcome Song

March 21 is Harmony Day in Australia, a special day to celebrate our ethnic diversity, a day to remind ourselves that ‘everybody belongs’ and ‘everybody is welcome’. In our school we celebrate Harmony Day by sharing stories, games, music and oranges with the children from all our nearby schools. This set of resources is a simple welcome song and five music stations to learn the song and its accompaniment. Great for your next Harmony Day or any other time you want to welcome people to your class.

You can also download it for free from my TES Shop:
