Read MoreRepeat After Me Songs
We love "repeat after me" songs! These camp songs are sung by the leader and responded to by the audience. They are a great way to teach fun songs to new campers and parents. For me, they allow me to shout the lyrics loud and proud versus trying to sing.
We have heard them called "Neat-o Repeat-o" songs as well. Either way, we think they are the best style of song and the ones below are our favorite repeat after me songs. Enjoy!
