Were sad to see you go!
"As my kids have turned 12 and are leaving Primary, (or
moving out of the ward), we sing the Hello Song to them but as a Farewell
Song. Instead of singing Hello four times, we inserted - "Farewell, Adios,
See ya later, Alligator." And depending which side of the room they are
coming from, that side gets the "Alligator" part of the song. It makes it so
that as the children are leaving Primary, it's not so sad for them. We have
also sang it when we have changed Primary Presidencies or teachers leaving."

We don't have a graduation song. We just sing that child's favorite song as a
way to say goodbye and we will miss you. The young women always come to "get"
their new girl and so we always invite them to sing the song with us--since I
have been the chorister so many times over the years, I have had most of the
girls in primary with me and got to do the same for them. (Idea by Kris
