Get in the Habit Sing A Long Instruction Video
If you want to give kids the best two-and-a-half minutes in all of financial literacy education, lead them in a sing-along of the song “Get in the Habit!”
There’s a very good chance you—and the kids—will never have more fun learning personal-finance concepts that actually make a difference.
Don’t believe me? Take a listen. Then give it a try.
The video above shows you exactly how to lead the sing-along. The video below features community leader Kelsey Malecha, using the song to bring knowledge, joy, and energy to children in Minnesota.
Music and sing-alongs are powerful tools for teaching kids—not just about money, but about anything. That’s especially true when the music is infectious, easy to follow, and designed with intention. Sammy Rabbit’s song “Get in the Habit” is all of that—and more.
The tune is engaging, energetic, and jam-packed with purposeful financial education for kids and families. We know this firsthand, having led sing-alongs with over a quarter million children across eight countries using this song.
What Kids, Families, Teachers, and Song Leaders Learn From This Toe-Tapping Tune
Make a habit of saving money—it pays off
It’s not funny when you’re not in the habit of saving
Your savings grow when saving becomes a habit
Saving is something anyone can do—especially kids
You need to get started
From every dollar, save a dime
Making a habit of saving money means you’re saving all the time. And when you save consistently, your pile of savings keeps growing.
That habit helps kids—and adults—be better prepared for emergencies and move closer to big dreams, like going to college, graduating debt-free, or even owning something simple and meaningful, like a bicycle.
That’s the power of habit. And that’s why “Get in the Habit!” works.
Have fun. Have impact. Empower dreams. Transform lives. As Sammy Rabbit says: "You can do it. Now get to it!"
