A Pizza Hut , Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonalds? (Healthy Eating?) [What do I eat?] hmmm…

Learning through music? Well you may think this fun creative movement song does not promote healthy habits ?…view the video to the end and you find a ‘healthy salad ‘
is the better choice!

Musical Play Literacy Activity.
How about taking pictures not only the restaurants in this song but look in your own community to take pictures of restaurants and retail establishments (or cut out of newspaper inserts, mail, etc.) and cerate an individual musical play learning activity to sing with the song. This is a great activity to use with the song as it reinforces learning with environmental print for those children learning to read.
Children can sing the song and point to the (logo) word picture you glued on a paper and sing for example… (my community)

Creative Fine Motor activity:
Paper Plate Pizza Slices! (save the flyers from grocery stores for this activity, food magazines. etc. )
Provide glue sticks, magazines, scissors and paper plates.
The children find food pictures, cut them out and glue them on their plate pizza.
When done, draw lines representing slices.
Have the children cut on the lines!
They can use these as a puzzle!
Singing the Pizza hut song

A Pizza Hut Lyrics

When in the classroom I usually sing only the ‘movement ‘part of this song picking up the speed when repeating the song.
A Pizza Hut, (arms making hut over head)
A Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
And a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
A Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
A Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
And a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
McDonalds, McDonalds (make a big M in air in front of you)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
And a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
McDonald’s, McDonalds (make a big M in air in front of you)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
And a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)

We usually sing it three times picking up the speed each time until the last time (4th) its just a crazy blur with crazy words just slurred together as if we moved and sang in super sonic speed!.

A Pizza Hut Lyrics (As done in the video)
My friend and I were driving down the street
She asked me where I would “like to eat?”
I said… hmmm
A Pizza Hut, (arms making hut over head)
A Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
And a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
A Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
A Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
And a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
McDonalds, McDonalds (make a big M in air in front of you)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
And a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
McDonald’s, McDonalds (make a big M in air in front of you)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
And a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
Soooo….
My friend said….
PLEASE MAKE UP YOUR MIND OR
WE WILL LEAVE ALL THESE PLACES BEHIND!
Ohhh…. I don’t know…
(Sing faster)
A Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
a Pizza hut (arms making hut over head)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
and a Pizza Hut arms making hut over head)
A Pizza Hut(arms making hut over head)
a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
and a Pizza Hut(arms making hut over head)

McDonalds, McDonalds, (make a big M in air in front of you)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken)
And a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
McDonalds, McDonalds, (make a big M in air in front of you)
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Flap arms like chicken) and a Pizza Hut (arms making hut over head)
My friend then said…
OK, forget it… we are just going home to make a nice healthy salad!
That was probably a better idea any way!
