Personal Space Song With Lyrics
Children will learn to understand, express, and respect personal space boundaries.** Through song and role play, they practice recognizing comfortable and uncomfortable interactions, expressing their feelings, and respecting the boundaries of others.
VERSE 1
I like hugs from friends, I like kisses from my family,
I like holding hands, I like tickles and some giggles
Like to stand in line, side by side,
And even sharing a pie!
VERSE 2
I don’t like cuddles, snuggles, pecks on the cheek,
I don’t like poking or squeezing, tapping on my shoulder,
Don’t like linking arms or standing too near,
My seat is just for me!
BRIDGE
Hey, it's okay!
Sometimes we like being close, sometimes we need a little space.
Hey, it's okay!
If you feel uncomfortable, you can say…
Loud and clear!
CHORUS
No, no – please step away,
I’m not okay with this today.
I need more space – from right to left,
I feel more comfortable this way.
No, no – please step away,
I’m not okay with this today.
I need more space – from right to left,
I feel more comfortable this way.
VERSE 3
I like waves and smiles from across the room,
I like fist bumps, high-fives, claps and cheers,
I like playing together but with some space,
And if I feel uncomfortable, I can say…
CHORUS
No, no – please step away,
I’m not okay with this today.
I need more space – from right to left,
I feel more comfortable this way.
No, no – please step away,
I’m not okay with this today.
I need more space – from right to left,
I feel more comfortable this way.
Yeah yeah yeah!
Oh-oh-oh!
