the capacity song

My coworker is so creative, and helped me come up with a song to help my math kids remember their capacity equivalents.

To the tune of The Addams Family


Duh duh duh duh (clap, clap),
Duh duh duh duh (clap, clap),
Duh duh duh duh,
Duh duh duh duh,
Duh duh duh duh (clap, clap).

There's 2 cups in 1 pi-int,
There's 2 pints in 1 qua-art,
There's 4 quarts in 1 gallon,
It's called capacity!

Duh duh duh duh (clap, clap),

Duh duh duh duh (clap, clap),

Duh duh duh duh,

Duh duh duh duh,

Duh duh duh duh (clap, clap).

My 3rd graders loved it!

My 6th graders...not so much. But I made them sing it anyway! :)
