50th day of school Sock Hop!

The Sock Hop is something our students and families love!  We have it every year, and I try to use different songs every time!  I went to a Thrift Store and bought 45 rpm records….one for each student, for props.    Here is my song list.  I keep the movements very simple and as you saw, I have the students “shout out”  parts to make it more fun!  The students are learning social skills and learning how to work with a partner and of course they leave sweaty because they are moving so much!

Here is my playlist for last school year:

1. At the Hop – Danny & the Juniors
2. Old Time Rock n Roll – Bob Seger
3. All Shook Up – Elvis Presley
4. Wimoweh
5. Do Wop Dancing – cd – Elvis Presleys
6. Twist

As you can see, I always invite 5th grade boys to dress up as Elvis and come in and do one of the songs.  It is a privelege for them, and usually about 3 or 4 agree to it!  So fun!
