Clean-Up Time! (Where Does It Go?)

Piko hears his jingle ball but can't find it in the mess. Luma, Piko and Rumi give every toy its home, guessing where each one goes, until the jingle ball turns up. A guess-along clean-up song for ages 2–5.

Actions: Chorus: shrug and turn your palms up on 'where does it go?', then point all around on 'every toy has a home'. Chant: tap your fists together on each 'clink, clank', and drop your hands on 'CLUNK'. Verses: shout the silly guess 'no!' and point to the right home. Bridge: pick up one pretend toy each, then high-five. Verse 3: tilt your head upside down, then cup your ear for the 'ding'.

Chorus

Clean-up time! Where does it go?
Every toy has a home, you know!
Find its home and put it in,
Clean-up time, let's all join in!
Clink, clank! Clink, clank!
Clink, clank! Clink, clank!
Clink, clank, clink, clank... CLUNK!

Verse 1

Here are blocks, one, two, three,
Where do they go? Up a tree?
No! In the block box, one by one,
Clink, clank, clunk! The blocks are done!

Verse 2

Here's a book, flat and blue,
Where does it go? In a shoe?
No! On the shelf, stand it tall,
Books in a row along the wall.

Chorus

Clean-up time! Where does it go?
Every toy has a home, you know!
Find its home and put it in,
Clean-up time, let's all join in!
Clink, clank! Clink, clank!
Clink, clank! Clink, clank!
Clink, clank, clink, clank... CLUNK!

Bridge

I pick one, and you pick one,
Little by little, it gets done!
Rumi helps, and Luma too,
Look what little hands can do!

Verse 3

Here's my teddy, soft and brown,
Where does he go? Upside down?
No! In the basket, snug and round...
Ding! My jingle ball is found!

Chorus

Clean-up time! Where does it go?
Every toy has a home, you know!
Find its home and put it in,
Clean-up time, let's all join in!
Clink, clank! Clink, clank!
Clink, clank! Clink, clank!
Clink, clank, clink, clank... CLUNK!

Outro

Every toy is home... CLUNK!
