Show And Tell: Lights Go On

This is just a simple little song to help with cause and effect, and the concepts of on and off.  I like to use the touch lights that you can usually get at the dollar store.  With those you can work on some motor skills as well, like hand strength, bringing hands to midline, thumb opposition, bilateral coordination, etc.

You can use all different kinds of lights when singing this little song, including lamps, flashlights, night lights, christmas lights, lava lamps, bedroom lights, etc.

You could really change this song to introduce a lot of opposite concepts.

Here are the words I made up for the on and off concept:

Lights go on and lights go off
Lights go on
Lights go off
Lights go on and lights go off
On and Off

Show and Tell--Icky Sticky Bubble Gum

Icky Sticky Bubble Gum

This preschool song is always a favorite.  I like using it for learning body parts or clothing.  It's a great song for working on imitation skills as well.  You can choose what your hands are getting stuck to, or you can pause and wait for the kids to choose.  The kids always love this song.

You can listen to a sample of this song by David Landau, or buy it on my amazon picks here.

And here are the words:

Icky sticky sticky sticky bubble gum bubble gum bubble gum

Icky sticky sticky sticky bubble gum makes your hands stick to your head
And you pull them and you pull them and you pull them away


Icky sticky sticky sticky bubble gum bubble gum bubble gum

Icky sticky sticky sticky bubble gum makes your hands stick to your ________
And you pull them and you pull them and you pull them away
