Classroom Community Songs

Each title generally explains their main use. You as the teacher (or parent) might use these to help the class (or particular students) adjust to transitions in the schedule easier, or to engage students more in general.

If anything about the tune doesn't make sense with the timing of words, I'm happy to send an audio example to your email. (But hey, you don't need a wonderful singing voice to make these work!)

While this isn't grade-specific, it's geared towards mostly pre-K through early elementary.

RATING/REVIEW:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"EXCELLENT - research has proven that music assists in more effective learning! Cheers to YOU for producing this wonderful resource that will assist in students' learning! These chants will serve as pertinent 'visual reminders' when displayed in class, and assist the students to be more 'mindful' in the teaching/learning situation during the school day. Many thanks!"

Print, laminate, and hang these chants to your classroom walls or doors! Have your class learn these early into the school year, and they'll more easily transition between times of talking and no talking. I've provided tips and ideas for each one (there are 3, so the additional pages are guidance).

Other transition ideas: turn the light off then on again, or have a song played for 15-30 seconds so they know an activity is ending and that they need to clean up and listen up.

These chants are specifically telling the children what kind of voice they should use for the next activity, so this should be ADDED to current transitional things you do, not necessarily REPLACING current ones.

*GREAT FOR STUDENTS WITH COGNITIVE SPECIAL NEEDS OR ANXIETY*

Consider this a toolkit for either very young people who are learning how to do most things for the first time, or for those with special needs, especially of a more social and/or linguistic nature. These can shape behavior, instill confidence, and equip learners who struggle with certain skills that often are used in everyday life.

This primarily is designed for teachers to facilitate, but parents could easily implement these also, with only a few exceptions (e.g. some of the songs are classroom-oriented). Check out previews of each resource for more!
