Songs to practice impulse-control

Here are a couple examples of songs we use to practice impulse control.  In the first, they have to wait to play their instruments, and in the second, they have to stop playing their instruments.  It's good, hard work!

In this one, the kids are working hard to keep their bells quiet until the person in the middle "wakes up!"



 In the second, we are practicing counting, steady beat, and impulse control.  They are working hard to stop after clapping 3 times.  In the song, we start by clapping and saying, "1, 2, 3 (stop!)"  Then we transition to "sea, sea, sea (stop!)"  Finally, we do the song with only clapping, and no words on the claps.
