If you work with children (kids or toddlers) in your English class, I’ve come up with two videos that you can use in your class.

You can use See You Later Alligator Goodbye Song in your class or when you and your students at a campfire.

You can also use the Goodbye Song for Children in your classroom. The lyrics are so easy to memorize and you can do some fun activities with it, like clapping, turning around, jumping up and down.
