Earth Day Song for Preschool

We sing songs…lots of songs! Over the years I’ve shared many of our favorite preschool songs. There are so many benefits of incorporating music into learning and play that there is rarely a day when we aren’t singing something. Plus, it just makes learning fun!

One of our favorite songs lately is Sing for Spring from the March 2011 issue of Scholastic’s Let’s Find Out magazine. You can see a digital copy of the magazine with the song on the Scholastic site.  While you are there take a look at the terrific parent and teacher sections. There are tons of phenomenal resources!

During calendar time one morning we had just finished singing Sing for Spring. As we started brainstorming ways we can take care of Earth, Lovey started singing her own little Earth Day song. The idea stuck, and we made up motions and a song to help us remember the ways we can help the Earth. It’s probably a song many preschool teachers have “made up” in their own classrooms around the globe, but for Lovey’s sake I’m crediting her with the idea for now. ๐Ÿ™‚

I thought it would be the perfect thing to share for this week’s edition of Discover and Explore.

 Earth Day Song

(Tune: Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush)

 This is the way we pick up the trash,

pick up the trash, pick up the trash.

This is the way we pick up the trash.

We take care of our Earth!

  This is the way we turn off the lights,

turn off the lights, turn off the lights.

This is the way we turn off the lights.

We take care of our Earth!

Other possible verses:

Turn off the water

Plant a seed

Recycle a can

What other verses would your kids add to this song? Why not teach it to them for Earth Day and see what they come up with?

    Great activities! Thanks so much for sharing them with us. I found a spelling list and activities for Earth Day at Vocabulary Spelling City (http://www.spellingcity.com/view-spelling-list.html?listId=5271554) They will let you teach, test, play games, use flash cards… and the site is free to use.

    Joyfully,
    Jackie
