The Sleep Song

Watch this video together with children (possibly at bedtime). Then watch it again and sing along. Try role-playing Bert and Ernie and pretend to fall asleep at the end!
At bedtime, ask children what they’re excited to do the next day…and remind them that sleep gives them the energy to do those things!
