Instructions

1. Cleanup time can be a difficult transition. This fun game helps motivate
children to clean. When it's time to clean up, challenge the children to
complete cleaning the room before a chosen song ends.
2. Say, "Ready, set, go!" and start the music.
3. Encourage the children to clean quickly but carefully. Help out too!
4. If the children don't finish before the first song is over, give them a second
chance by playing another song.
5. Congratulate everyone on their quick and efficient work.
