Ah, Carpet Time. That wonderful elementary school event where the whole class parks it on the carpet, sings songs and claps along. And after the singing, the teacher probably sits at the front of the carpet, book in hand, ready for story time.
You probably remember making your way to that special carpet in the classroom 
dedicated for the purpose Carpet Time. What did the carpet look like? Was it a large area rug, or was it a carpeted section of the classroom? Was it a solid color, or did it have a design or pattern? Was it soft or coarse? Maybe you even napped on that carpet. With your face that close, did it have a funny smell?
Every class has its own list of favorite Carpet Time songs. Pinterest has pages and pages dedicated to the ditties that make transition time – the time where kiddos switch gears from one activity to another – smooth and fun. From classic nursery rhymes and learning songs like the “ABCs” to seasonal songs like “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” every child has a favorite. Think back — what were your favorite Carpet Time songs as a kid?
