Classroom Community & Circle Time Songs | Make Good Choices | Distance Learning

"Make Good Choices will teach your children to be choose kindness, health, and safety through 38 songs! Many of these songs have predictable lyrics and tunes, making them ideal for oral language development. Selected karaoke tracks allow children to develop their own predictable songs. Every song can be a great "brain break" in your classroom. Use these songs to build a positive classroom community as you create excitement about a topic, transition between activities, give children "wiggle time," or promote a calm classroom atmosphere.

Please listen to the "Preview" to hear 5 samples:

1. "I Love Helping" has a simple message, and young children will learn to sing along quickly. Just as a commercial jingle stays in our heads, this positive message will become a part of their lives.

2. "Make a Great Day Better" is a great way to start every day. Just "bop" back and forth to the chorus, and teach children to follow the song's directions during the verses: "Smile as you clap your partner's hands..." Your children will be up and moving with a positive message first thing in the morning.

3. "Breakfast Time" is a simple, predictable song that teaches children to make healthy food choices. The choices are based on the latest "Food Plate" recommendations (see www.choosemyplate.gov/). Similar songs teach children to make healthy choices for lunch and dinner. I included a karaoke version at the end so that children can make their own songs and predictable books.

4. "Healthy Foods" gives children lots of information on making good food choices. I love to swing dance with my students as this song plays!

5. In "Let's Be Bully-Free," children repeat after me as they learn how to stay safe from bullies.
