How to do it

Sing while children pack away toys:
“Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere…”

Extend the activity

• Add actions (clap, stomp)
• Assign roles (toy collector, organiser)

Inclusive practice

• Use visual cues (pointing to toys)
• Allow children to follow others if unsure
• Keep rhythm slow for clarity
