Song – You’ve Gotta Be SunSmart

Move along with Sid Seagull

Sid Seagull shows off his dance moves to teach kids how to Slip Slop Slap Seek and Slide before they play outside. It’s as simple as slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek some shade and slide on some sunnies to protect your skin from the sun!

Move along with Sid at home, in the classroom, or in front of the school on assembly!
