At the start of circle time I always do songs that include the kids names.....
Here is one that I start off with
"Look through the window and who do I see
Luke friend Luke waving at me (I am waving to the child as I sing this part)
Hi Luke."
Look through the window and who do I see Michelle friend Michelle waving at me.
I just go down the row until I have said each child's name.

I also insert the kids name when singing songs like 5 little ducks or 5 green and speckled frogs and so on.....The kids can't stop laughing!
