Introductory Song 'Good Morning, Mr. Rooster'
"Good morning, Mr Rooster," is an excellent introductory song to start the day with children. There are no musical chords found in this song. Hence, the educator can play an audio as a background and encourage children to sing the song by making the following actions:

The repetitive lines in this song reveal a rhythmic beat which is instrumental when the educator marches forward. Here, the educator would,

The educator would lead the song by making marching motions.
Another educator would perform marching motions at the back of the children.
The educator would sing and stamp her feet to create the sound effect while marching forward.
The children would hold hands with their partners and similarly march in similar fashion back to the classroom.
