Need to motivate kids to read this summer? With a chant this fun (sung to a tune most everyone will recognize), kids won’t be able to resist the challenge!
We Will, We Will Read Books (Tune: Queen's We Will Rock You)
Begin with the audience leading in a stomp, stomp, clap rhythm or a slap, slap, clap (slap knees) rhythm.
Wha'cha gonna do? Wha'cha gonna do?/Wha'cha gonna do when the school year's through?
Gonna hang around the place? Stuffin' your face?/Bein' a slob & takin' up space?
NO!/We will, we will read books!/We will, we will read books!
Wha'cha gonna do? Wha'cha gonna do?Wha'cha gonna do when the school year's through?
Gonna check out a book/Take a good look/It's free, fast, fun & easy to do.
SING IT!/We will, we will read books!/We will, we will read books!
Wha'cha gonna do? Wha'cha gonna do?/Wha'cha gonna do when the school year's through?
WE WILL, WE WILL READ BOOKS!
