Respect Song with Lyrics
Children will learn to demonstrate respectful behavior and kindness in everyday interactions. Through song and guided activities, they practice listening, waiting their turn, using polite words like “please,” “thank you,” and “I’m sorry,” and taking responsibility for their actions, helping build empathy, patience, and positive social skills.
When my teacher is talking, I sit still and wait,
I don’t interrupt, I listen, it’s great!
When a friend has a story, I let them share, (with respect)
Respect means listening, and to show I care.
When my parents are busy, I wait for my turn,
It’s not always easy, but it’s something I learn.
Respect means patience, and giving them time.
I know they love me and I’ll be fine.
[Chorus]
I can listen, I can wait,
I can choose to do what’s great.
I’ll say thank you, I’ll say please,
Respect means kindness in all things.
Respect is caring, it’s what I’ll do,
For friends, for teachers, for me and you.
[Verse 2]
When I make a mistake, I say, ‘It was me,’
I don’t make excuses, I say ‘I’m sorry’.
I say ‘Can you please?” if I need some help,
And say “Thank you” when they give me a hand (give me a hand).
If I’m waiting in line, I stay calm and kind,
It’s someone else’s turn, and mine will come.
Respect is simple, it helps us all,
It makes the world better wherever we go.”
[Chorus]
I can listen, I can wait,
I can choose to do what’s great.
I’ll say thank you, I’ll say please,
Respect means kindness in all things.
Respect is caring, it’s what I’ll do,
For friends, for teachers, for me and you.
