3. Icky Sticky Bubble Gum - This has to be my favorite song on the CD and I did have time to try it out with one group of Kindergarten students when we had a little extra time in Music. They loved it. They pretend like they have bubble gum and the song tells where it gets stuck: nose, ears, knees, etc. They try to pull it off themselves! I can't wait until their is a video of this one!
