This song signals students to come and sit for circle time.
Sitting on the carpet song.
Sing to the tune of shortnin bread everybody have a seat have a seat have a seat everybody have a seat on the floor.
When the song ends they have to sit next to their new neighbor to encourage making new friends.
Special thanks to mary masson of oakland schools for supplying these lyrics.
Everybody have a seat on the floor.
Come to the carpet use your walking feet come to the carpet moving to the beat come to the carpet careful not to shout and don t forget that when you sit to have a quiet mouth.

This song works magic when asking children to prepare for a new activity.
Come to the carpet song.
I like to keep this song very repetitive so that kids can not only remember it but also sing along.
You need to get your students wrapped up and transitioning from what they were doing into coming to the carpet and sitting down.
