Take A Walk Around the
Room
Copyright 2006 Nancy Stewart
This very simple
song can be used to reinforce many different topics; letters, numbers,
animals, etc. As you sing the song, children walk around the room. Have them
look for something, and point to it. Then repeat the song, directing them to
look for something else, and so on.
The recorded version has the following letters:
Verse 2: O
Verse 3: I
Verse 4: R
Verse 5: E
Hold up a piece of paper with each letter as it is sung, so children can see
and hear what it is.
NOTE:
The recorded VERSION 1 is
the lyrics below, with the letters.
VERSION 2 of the song leaves spaces for you to give your own ideas about
things the children can "find." There are five verses, so be prepared with
five items. It's always helpful to hold up a picture as you say the item
(number, letter, object). Have fun with it!
Read more tips and ideas under the lyrics.
Take a Walk Around the Room
Take a little walk around the room
To see what you can see
When you find the letter “A”
Can you point it out to me
OTHER WAYS TO USE THIS SONG
 For librarians who are holding story time in an empty room, you can display
books around the edges, so there are lots of letters for the children to
“find.”
Use this song when you have a few minutes to fill in between activities.
Have the children find one of a kind things, like a hat, or a ball. This
will work well especially if your group is small.
Instead of saying the letter you want the children to find, hold up a piece
of paper with the letter (or shape, or color) for the children to find.
Place pieces of paper with letter on them around the room for the children
to “find.”
Use this song at the beginning of the year as children are getting to know
each other. For example, change the words to “find a friend who’s wearing
blue and point her (him) out to me.”
