Anyone know any catchy songs for 3-6 year olds?

Question

I would like a catchy song about cleaning up after yourself!! They won't do anything unless we sing as we clean!! I would like some new songs!! I make up new ones constantly, but of course IMPROV and never remember them!! HELP!

Answer 1

it's not exactly clean but working together by the wonder pets-  what's gonna work?- teamwork?

I also add to barney like i added : abby cleans up her mess, sammy cleans up her mess..... anddddddd we are  done!!!!!!!! fun

Answer 2

When I get bored with the clean up songs, I just play any familiar song and the room had to be clean by the time it was over.  It was like a race or game.  I would then get my "magic glasses" and walk around each center to see how clean the room was.

magic glasses can be huge oversized glasses, silly sunglasses, binoculars, etc.

sing:  sing I am loooking through my magic glasses, my magic glasses, my magic glasses, Iam looking through my magic glasses, to see if things are put away.

If the area is not clean, I might say I don't know if my magic glasses are working because I see a block on the floor, let me try to clean my glasses. ( As I pretend to fix my glasses a child usually runs over to pick up the block.) Ahh, now that's better, I am so glad I was able to fix my glasses.

a great website for many ideas is:  Dr. Jean Feldman

Answer 20

Answer 21

Nope.

Answer 22

Seems like most of the answers are "catchy" fun type songs---NOT clean-up songs.  

Here is what I do:

Hey, hey,

Hey, hey,

It's clean=up time today

Everybody help clean-up our room today.

Then I go into:

I see ............picking up, picking up, picking up,

I see ............picking up in block area.

I also turn the lights off and use a flashlight and sing:

My little flashlight sees a toy, sees a toy, see a toy

My little flashlight sees a toy

Who can pick it up?

I also make up my own songs and naturally can't remember them---my director seems to always pop in when I'm making up songs and wants me to write down the words.

Answer 23

the song in Bear in the Big Blue House....'Clean up the House'

Clean up the house

tidy it up, tidy it up

clean up the house

tidy it up, tidy it up

everybody clean up the house(class)

you could do a search to find all the lyrics if i don't remember them all. Maybe a mother of one of the kids can legally download the song and burn it to a cd for ya?
