Instructions

1. When asking the children to help clean up, sing this fun song to the tune of
"Frere Jacques." Children love hearing their names!
I see Conner, I see Conner.
He is picking up toys.
I see Conner, I see Conner.
He is picking up toys.
2. Continue until you have sung the names of all the children who are helping.
3. To personalize the song, you can sing the name of the toy the child is busy
picking up. For example, "Conner is picking up the Legos," or "Conner is
putting away the clothes."
4. Individual recognition is always good for small children. Those children who
are not helping will often join in just for a chance to hear their names sung.
