Hi,
I happen to know a few since I teach in KG, but I really like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZJHtZeMOUI .
This is also a nice activity which involves feelings and emotions. It encourages children to interact more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I9gz-5_h60&feature=channel.
Instead of the classic Goodbye/See you tomorrow you can use: Now �s the time for merry play/ No more lessons for today! :) I hope you like it.
Sincerely,
mpr_girl

If the songs are for kinder, you can modify the lyrics for "This is the way ..." and sing "this is the way I say hello, say hello, say hello, this is the way I say hello, I say hello to you (and the same with goodbye).
You can use the music from the Addams family theme and sing "hello my dear children, hello my dear children, hello my dear children, how are you today?" or "goodbye my dear children, goodbye my dear children, goodbye my dear children, it �s time for us to go" (they will answer with the same song, changing the word "children" for "teacher")
In youtube there are lots of songs! It of course depends on the age and level of the students. If they are kids, they really like the song I mentioned above, and you also can get hold of many songs from books! With kids aged 10-11 I usually use a short part from Hello Goodbye by the Beatles (they love it!)
Hope this is useful!
