Here's a short, rhyming song about daily routines, written to the tune of Frère Jacques, perfect for 7th graders to sing along:

    🎶 Daily Routine Song (to the tune of Frère Jacques)
    (Each pair of lines fits one verse of the melody)

    Wake up early, wake up early,
    Brush my teeth, brush my teeth.
    Wash my face and get dressed,
    Time to look my best —
    Off I go, off I go!

    Eat my breakfast, eat my breakfast,
    Out the door, out the door.
    Take the bus to school now,
    Learn the rules and how —
    Read and write, read and write.

    After schooltime, after schooltime,
    Play and rest, play and rest.
    Do my homework neatly,
    Then I eat my tea —
    Off to bed, off to bed!

    Would you like a version with gestures or pictures for classroom use?
