Piggyback+Songs*

Piggyback songs are a wonderful classroom tool! The definition of a piggyback song would be a familiar tune of a song with new words added in. Teachers often use piggyback songs to help children remember new lesson material, such as; abcs, days of the week, months of the year, colors, etc. Piggyback songs are very easy to catch on to for the teacher and also for the students. Kids love to sing and learn through music so these are very helpful in every classroom setting.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah tune) Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay, My, oh, my, summer's coming our way. Plenty of sunshine, swimming and play, Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, school's out today. There's a sadness in the air. It's over. It's done, but wasn't kindergarten fun? Oh, zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay, Summer's coming, coming our way! When I started kindergarten, I couldn’t have felt smaller; But I’ve been growing, growing, And not just growing taller
