Guest Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Hi AEK We had this conversation some time last year which you can find here. Linda
AnonyMouse_2293 Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 hi I asked this question last year and got lots of useful ideas which you can see in Linda's link above. eventually a member of staff found a Barney song which we now use. its called the 'Clean up song' and goes clean up, clean up everybody, everywhere clean up clean up everybody do your share it drives the staff a bit mad as I recorded it six times over, but most children get the message although some just dance and sing to it ! sandie
Guest Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 when it gets near to tidy up time we very quietly put on the Wombles song 'Remember you're a womble' and the children immediately look at each other and instead of shouting 'Tidy up time' ,which was happening ,you can see them saying to each other 'Come on its tidy up time' and it is much calmer.It took a couple of weeks till they did it automatically.They also know that after 3 plays its time to sit on the carpet for circle time .Hope this helps
