Be Nice Today

From Plank Road Publishing

by Teresa Jennings

Can we ever be reminded of good manners too often? Especially when we see examples of rudeness and unkindness going on around us, it seems like it's more important than ever to reinforce these character traits. The easy unison melody and simple lyrics of this song will help you do just that. Set in a folk-style, it's short enough to use as a quick reminder, or to sing again if you need to.

To interest your older students, we kept the chords simple enough to be played by beginning guitar students. Technically, there are more than three chords, but using the ones we indicate (D, G, and A) will do the job nicely. The four-string chord diagrams for the three chords mentioned are indicated right on the music above their first respective entrances. (from Music K-8, Vol. 20, No. 4)
