Title: Welcome Song for Circle Time

Ah-lan, _(name here)_    – اهلاــــــــ – Hello, ____ 

Kee-fak(m)/kee-fik (f)_(name again)_ ? – كيفك ـــــــ؟ –  How are you _____?

Ool-na-iss-mack(m)/Oo-lill-na-iss-mik(f)  –  قوليلنا اسمك –  قولنا اسمك – Tell us your name

Wa bin-za’-if   -lak(m)/-lek(f) .  – و بنزقفلك – and we’ll clap for you.

 You can pause here, ask the child ” شو اسمك؟” “What’s your name?”, when they answer (or their guardian answers) then everyone claps! And on to the next child.

Again, I am super embarrassed at the quality of this recording but hope it gives you a sense of how to use this song in your home or at Circle Times.

I sang it both speaking to a male child (with the name Zane) and female child (with the name Nadia).
