Song of the Month
Do You Have the Things You Need
by Mimi Sinclair
copyright 2010
Is your child the forgetful one, always leaving their backpack, books, or coat? Here is a song to help them remember to get everything they need when it is time to go. Play the song during the transition time before leaving. There is an instrumental interlude in between verses to allow the child to get things together. If more time is needed, simply repeat. After several days, you can just sing or hum the tune as a reminder to pick up the needed materials. This lyric is written for a transition at school. You can simply replace the items listed in this version with what is needed for your situation.
Do you have the things you need?
Folder, music books,
CD, in your backpack
It is time to go.
Do you have the things you need?
Coat, snack,
And your backpack,
Do you have the things you need?
It is time to go.
