I wrote this song to encourage students to share their favorites. It is a great song to motivate them to socialize within their groups and really get to know one another.
This song can be used and adapted for a variety of age groups and populations.
I designed visual aids to use with this song.
I designed power point slides and printed out each slide as a separate picture, (see above picture). This helps to give each student a visual cue when you ask them questions, such as, "What is your favorite color? What is your favorite sport?",etc.. Many students that cannot verbally communicate will point to, or use eye gaze to look at a picture on the visuals, and thus communicate something about themselves.
What other songs or activities do you like to use to encourage socialization within a group of students? I'd love to hear about them!

Here are the lyrics:
A favorite is something I like a lot.
It can be anything.
A favorite color, a favorite food, a favorite person, place or thing.
We all favorites. This is true.
It's okay if they're not the same.
A favorite is something I like a lot.
It can be anything.
A favorite color, a favorite food, a favorite person, place or thing.
