Transition to Group Time | A Song About Cleaning Up

The best clean up song for preschool, childcare, and kindergarten

If you are a teacher or caregiver, then Transition to Group Time is the song about cleaning up that you’re missing.

The simple lyrics in this cleaning up song (first clean up, then group time) use the behavior strategy of First-Then wording to focus on the difficult transition of having to stop to tidy up. While the lyrics of most songs about cleaning up are about the actual act of tidying up, Transition to Group Time is really more about avoiding challenging behaviors by using a proactive behavior strategy.
