Sitting On The Carpet Song
Special thanks to mary masson of oakland schools for supplying these lyrics.
Sitting on the carpet song. This song works magic when asking children to prepare for a new activity. May 22 2016 behavior management resources techniques and ideas. Come to the carpet use your walking feet come to the carpet moving to the beat come to the carpet careful not to shout and don t forget that when you sit to have a quiet mouth. I like to keep this song very repetitive so that kids can not only remember it but also sing along.
Resources to enhance literacy math and classroom management in the elementary classroom. Everybody have a seat on the floor. This song signals students to come and sit for circle time. Sing to the tune of shortnin bread everybody have a seat have a seat have a seat everybody have a seat on the floor.
When the song ends they have to sit next to their new neighbor to encourage making new friends. You need to get your students wrapped up and transitioning from what they were doing into coming to the carpet and sitting down.
