Review: The Sticky Kids Warm Up CD



The original and still the best-selling CD, our Sticky Kids Warm Up CD was been awarded five stars by the Nursery Education magazine.


The Warm Up CD was compiled by our professional gym coach Kate Wright and produced by the Sticky Kids team.


Children love the Warm Up CD because it includes a wide range of fun fitness moves, actions and singalongs.


Parents and teachers love the Warm Up CD because it ticks so many fitness and educational boxes.


The songs on the Warm UP CD cover a wide variety of physical skills from high kicks to fine motor skills, as well as listening, vocal and memory skills.


Some of the songs you’ll find on the Warm Up CD include:


The song Ready Steady Go is a fun-filled aerobic work out

If You’re Happy and You Know It is an old favourite that has new actions

The Circle song is all-inclusive and great for encouraging listening skills

Stand Up Sit Down does what it says in the title – it’s exhausting but masses of fun!


Rave review of the Warm Up CD:

A PE teacher was amazed to discover a group of nursery school children with physical skills that were very developed for their age. The reason why? The nursery teacher had been using the Sticky Kids Warm Up CD three times a week!


A great idea for teachers and parents:

If you are a teacher or in charge of a group of children why not get them to play this fun game before you put on the Sticky Kids Stand Up Sit Down song?

Sit the children in a circle with their legs in front of them. Then start the game yourself. Say: “I can do this…” then do an action such as tapping your head or hammering your heels on the floor. Say again “I can do this…” , and then pause. In all groups there will be a child who then suggests anther action, such as balancing on their hands and feet in the sitting position. Repeat the “I can do this…” until all the children have had a go.


Sticky Kids tried this recently at a nursery in Kilmarnock, Scotland, and the youngsters loved it.


The game helps children to start thinking.. then a wee pause… before the song starts.


Where to buy the Sticky Kids CD:

The Warm Up CD is available on the Sticky Kids website and as part of fun and fitness pack, which has 76 songs and rhymes.


The Warm Up CD is ideal for home fun with parents and children.
