Happy Birthday, with two new late elementary/ early intermediate arrangements perfect for singalongs, as well as for my favorite student exercise - transposing!
I love to start Happy Birthday with a rolled chord as shown above (and below), because it primes everyone to know just when to jump into the song!
The left hand split chords of this arrangement are just the I, IV, and V7 chords. Very basic, and all piano players need to have an understanding of the relationship of these three chords. Here, because we are in the key of C, those chords end up being C, F, and G7.

I have found it difficult to get my students to feel comfortable with the seventh chords, so this newest arrangement is going to get a big push from me in the coming months!
For chord newbies: regular chords are TRIADS - on the piano it looks like note, skip, and skip. To turn that triad into a seventh chord, just add one more skip. (That's not the end of the story, but it's the BASIC idea.)
Because I intend to make those students for whom this level is appropriate TRANSPOSE this song, from the key of C to G, then to D, then to A, etc. Around the Circle of Fifths.

My piano teacher (Mrs. Catherine Hahn, a wonderful woman) began her students with this bass note, chord, chord approach, using all root-position chords instead of inversions. This made understanding basic chords and even the 7th chords very easy.

It is pretty easy, but kids need a bit of background in chord-playing first, such as Mary Had a Little Lamb (see that page for a little chord lesson) .
With these small chords, I like to tell my students This is a D 'pinch' chord (D & C together). This is a 'little' C chord (C & E together).
The version in G may be easier for your students to play, because with the key of F version, each hand has to deal with a Bb note. In the key of G version, only the right hand has a black note.

However, the G arrangement uses several bass clef ledger line notes! You will have to decide. I think the G version is easier.
