Description
‘KEEP IT CLEAN!’ (Grades K-7) is a whole school, environmental rap song that highlights responsibility for protecting our planet, and provides students with simple, practical suggestions for caring for the environment.
This engaging, professionally produced rap song, was selected for the ABC's 2010 SING! publication for Australian schools. The curriculum-aligned song is being played by schools, after recess and lunch as a signal for students to clean up the playground (we call this Pavlovian environmentalism...)! :-)
