Sing this song to the tune of “London Bridge is Falling Down” to help the children learn the difference between indoor and outdoor voices. If possible, sing the song near a doorway. When you sing the first verse, have all the children stand right inside the doorway. When you sing the second verse, have all the children stand right outside of the doorway, during outdoor time. Sing the first verse very softly and the second verse very loudly. Indoor voices must be soft, Must be soft, must be soft. Indoor voices must be soft, So I'll hear you. Outdoor voices can be LOUD! Can be LOUD! Can be LOUD! Outdoor voices can be LOUD! So I'll hear you.
