Veggies Are Yummy

We admit that this is a tough subject to sell to kids, but if we can instill healthy eating habits at an early age, maybe it's not as tough as we think. This very simple song can help you engage your young singers and introduce the concept of healthy eating. (Another great way to bring music across the curriculum!) Set in a 2-beat march style complete with marching band on the recording, it is slow enough to allow your kids a chance to march around a bit (per your instructions) if you want. After all, movement is also healthy. The best part of the song is the "cheer" at measure 14 where kids get to shout out the names of a few choice veggies. Add some pom-poms, and you have a cute performance piece, too.
