Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Sunny Kindness Parade
The chorus turns one small helpful action into a visible parade pattern. Children and families can echo the hook, choose an adaptable movement, and watch kindness move from one stop to the next without the song sounding like a lesson.
The part everyone joins: “Pass it on—one kind thing can travel on!”
Lyrics
Count-In
Brandon: One small hop!
Austin: One soft tap!
All: Kindness starts just where we’re at!
Round the willow circle bright,
morning leaves danced in the light.
Brandon fixed one flower straight.
Austin smiled, “Small help is great!”
Leader: Pass it on!
Everyone: Pass it on!
Leader: One kind thing—
Everyone: Can travel on!
All: Hop or tap, then wave along—
pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!
Marching by the bright red gate,
Austin saw a book lean straight.
He set it safe on the reading stump.
Brandon cheered with one small jump!
Leader: Pass it on!
Everyone: Pass it on!
Leader: One kind thing—
Everyone: Can travel on!
All: Hop or tap, then wave along—
pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!
Brandon: Hold a gate?
Everyone: Pass it on!
Austin: Share a smile?
Everyone: Pass it on!
Brandon: Make some room?
Austin: Help along?
All: Tiny kindness travels strong!
Down the mailbox path they came,
garden rows were all aflame
with sunny blooms that seemed to say,
“Kindness marched this whole long way!”
Leader: Pass it on!
Everyone: Pass it on!
Leader: One kind thing—
Everyone: Can travel on!
All: Hop or tap, then wave along—
pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!
Small or tall, we all belong—
pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!
Closing Tag: One small hop, one soft tap—
kindness grows from where we’re at.
