Language focus: "Clean up" "Put your things away".

Classroom benefits: Clean Up is the perfect simple song to signal clean up time at home or in the classroom.

Knock Knock Hello is a great song to use at the beginning of a class, or before studying or playing at home. We created the song to warmly welcome children into our classrooms and get them ready for singing, dancing, and learning.

The easiest way to introduce the song is simply to start playing it each time you clean up after an activity. Children will very quickly associate this song with clean up time.

Lyrics:

Clean up, clean up.
Everybody let's clean up.
Clean up, clean up.
Put your things away.
(x4)

Clean up! Clean up! Clean up! Put your things away.
Pick up your toys.
Pick up your books.
Pick up your shoes.
Put your things away.

Clean up, clean up.
Everybody let's clean up.
Clean up, clean up.
Put your things away.
(x2)

Activity ideas:

When using the song for the first time, you may want to demonstrate with a puppet cleaning up some blocks or other small items. At home, it’s an excellent song to play to encourage children to cleanup when they are finished playing. You could also sing together without the CD, when doing chores together around the house.
