You can easily incorporate these sing-song diddies that came from out classroom to help engage students while relating the idea of a concept. These developed organically while working in my classroom and they stuck with both me and my kinders. I use them every year and hope they can help your students too!

This product is 5 wav files (can be played on the computer or burned onto a CD). But they are each short enough that you can remember them quickly.
