This Diwali circle time song is simple and fun to share with your preschool kids. Share Diwali traditions and concepts with the kids in your classroom or storytime — it’s important to expose them to holidays and traditions that might or might not be the ones they celebrate at home!
Lyrics:
(Sing to the tune of “Frère Jacques”)
It’s Diwali, it’s Diwali,
The Festival of Lights, the Festival of Lights!
Light the paper lanterns, light the paper lanterns,
They shine so bright, they shine so bright!
…
It’s Diwali, it’s Diwali,
The Festival of Lights, the Festival of Lights!
Decorate with flowers, decorate with flowers,
Colorful and bright, colorful and bright!
…
It’s Diwali, it’s Diwali,
The Festival of Lights, the Festival of Lights!
Make rangoli patterns, make rangoli patterns,
Such a lovely sight, such a lovely sight!
…
It’s Diwali, it’s Diwali,
The Festival of Lights, the Festival of Lights!
Watch the pretty fireworks, watch the pretty fireworks,
So bright at night, so bright at night!
