Default Tidy up Songs.

Where i work we have Mary Poppins supercalafragilestic (however its spelt) as our tidy up song. The children know that as soon as it goes on they must try to have everything tidied up before the song ends. sometimes it takes a little longer than just one song so we have the song on cd 3 times just incase. Our children are really good at this and love to race against the song. I just wondered if anyone else has a tidy up song and if so what it is. Am really curiouse that's all. Happy christmas to everyone xx

I've been in a nursery where they play 'whistle while you work'.

I play a big range of songs at tidy up time and when we are sitting together at snack time... rock, pop, classical, jazz etc.

A current favourite for tidying up is Greig's 'Hall of the Mountain King' - one boy likes it so much he dances away, it's really sweet!

They all seem to like poppy stuff like Mika as well... I find it very motivational
