Of course, the whole class gets to participate as well, but one kiddo at a time has the spotlight role of being the cookie snatcher! Who Took the Cookie is another fan favorite because it allows one individual student to have a more active role in the chant. It seems obvious to us, but this can be tricky for some of your early learners. Kiddos will then guess which member of the class you are talking about. When it comes time for the secret student to be revealed you create a word that rhymes with the student’s name but starts with W ( Bella would be Wella, Xavier would be Wavier, etc.). Secretly choose a student for the chant and have the class repeat the chant with you. Kiddos love this name chant, because it is so silly and fun! And I really like this one, because it encourages students to use their listening and rhyming skills. Willoughby Wallaby Woo is a big hit with my students. Have the whole class say the student’s name in the way specified (whispered, stomped, shouted, clapped), and then allow that student to pick a new friend to go next.īeing animated and excited goes a long way in these chants and songs for Pre-K and Kindergarten! It really helps to keep your kiddos engaged. Hickety Pickety Bumblebee is a super cute name chant your class will love because it lets your kiddos get up and move!Ĭhoose one of your students to start and fill their name into the chant.
