Bucket Filler Song
Bucket Filler Song
I have a bucket that needs to be full,
And so does everyone around this school.
When it’s full I feel happy all day.
But when it’s empty I feel sad and grey ……
Hey Hey!
So be a bucket filler.
Fill, fill, fill, fill a bucket don’t
Dip, dip, dip, dip in a bucket.
Fill, fill, fill, fill a bucket don’t
Dip, dip, dip, dip in a bucket.
Give out a smile and don’t be mean,
And we’ll have the kindest school
you’ve ever seen.
Hey Hey.
Just be a bucket filler …….
(Repeat all from beginning)

Hiding behind a tree.

To please come out so we can play with you.
