When our three oldest were younger, parking lot safety was a big concern. To help the kids remember that they needed to hold a hand we made up a little song to sing while walking. The second verse is completely optional {ahem}, but generally involves lots of giggles and was the kid's favorite!
Gotta Hold a Hand
{sung to the tune of 'Dinah Won't You Blow}
Gotta hold a hand, you gotta hold a hand,
You gotta hold a hand in the parking lot.
{repeat}
You might get squished, you might get squashed,
If you don't hold a hand in the parking lot.
{repeat}
{sung to the tune of 'Dinah Won't You Blow}
Gotta hold a hand, you gotta hold a hand,
You gotta hold a hand in the parking lot.
{repeat}
You might get squished, you might get squashed,
If you don't hold a hand in the parking lot.
{repeat}
