Singing Time Flip Chart
This is a short and easy song, so it’s just a single page printable, but I’ve created a couple different versions to help you pick the style that best meets your needs.
There’s a standard version with the first verse, a fill-in-the-blank option to use some of the fun alternate words, and then a 3rd option that includes the second verse at the bottom of the page if you want to include the fun “tra-la-la’s.”
