In a happy classroom, some friendly Muppets sing a fun song about why it’s important to follow classroom rules, especially when talking. The song helps students remember to speak nicely and wait their turn.
The Muppet sings about a very important rule: raising your hand before you speak in class. The song tells students to lift their hands high and wait for the teacher to call on them. This helps everyone talk in an orderly way and learn better together.
The main part of the song goes like this:
This simple reminder helps students learn to take turns and let others have a chance to speak too.
The teacher sees how much fun everyone is having and suggests a special version of the song for the chickens in the classroom. The lyrics change a bit for them:
The chickens join in with their own sounds, making a happy chorus:
This playful moment not only makes everyone laugh but also teaches about taking turns in a fun way.
At the end of the song, the Muppets remind everyone about the simple rule of raising hands to speak in school. The last part of the song sums it up:
With music and laughter, the Muppets show how important it is to talk respectfully, making learning fun for everyone!
Hand-Raising Practice: Create a fun game where you and your friends take turns asking and answering questions. Each time someone wants to speak, they must raise their hand first. You can use a soft toy as a “talking stick” that you pass to the person whose turn it is to speak. This will help you practice waiting for your turn and listening to others.
Classroom Role-Play: Set up a mini-classroom at home with your family or friends. Take turns being the teacher and the students. The “teacher” can ask questions, and the “students” must raise their hands to answer. You can even sing the song from the video to remind everyone of the rules. This activity will help you understand how raising your hand helps keep the classroom organized.
Observation Challenge: Next time you are in class or a group setting, pay attention to how often people raise their hands before speaking. Count how many times you see it happen. Think about how this helps everyone have a chance to talk and learn. Share your observations with your teacher or family and discuss why this rule is important.
