'KEEP IT CLEAN!' (K-7) ~ Curriculum Song Package I Earth Day

‘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, curriculum-aligned 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...)! :-)
