(To the tune of Ten in the Bed)
There was a can in the bin
And another went in
Recycle, Recycle
So we all recycled and added a can.
There were two in the bin and another went in…
Caring, Sharing
(To the tune of My Bonnie lies over the ocean)
The World is a great place to live in
With friends from all over the earth
We must all take care of each other
And know what each person is worth
Chorus: Sharing, Caring
Come join hands together and play today
Sharing, Caring
We’ll make the world better today
So treat every person with kindness
And great each new friend with a smile

Give kindness a chance for a while
