I recently came across a song on YouTube called the Cause and Effect Song. I loved the idea of getting my kiddos up and moving to learn about cause and effect (a very hard concept for my 2nd graders). We practiced the song and then thought of a few actions to go with it. My kiddos were VERY excited and loved getting up and moving. They have been singing the song all week. We sang it to the tune of "The Adams Family" theme song and taped it to show to parents on our classroom website.

Cause and Effect Song
To the tune of “The Adams Family”
Whenever something happens
There always is a reason
You must ask why it happened
To understand the cause
Cause and effect (clap clap)
Cause and effect (clap clap)
Cause and effect, cause and effect, cause and effect (clap clap)
The cause makes something happen
It really gets things snapping
Just ask yourself what happened
To understand the effect
