Read the book The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle. Talk about the choices the ladybug made throughout the book. Present similar scenarios to the children related to the classroom and have them talk about their choices. Then use this song to sing to a child who has made a choice, to the tune of “For He's a Jolly Good Fellow”:

Ben made a choice,

Ben made a choice,

Ben made a choice,

Let's give him/her a big hooray!

This could be done in large group.
