The Kids is a generic term applied to any group of kids performing on Sesame Street. Kids have always been a part of the Street -- the first scene in the first episode includes a group of kids playing basketball.

Sesame Street albums sometimes credit "The Kids" for songs with a kid chorus, including "Somebody Come and Play," "Sing," and the "Sesame Street Theme."

Trivia

• According to Kevin Clash, Whoopi Goldberg was once a babysitter for a few of the kids: "Before she was well-known, she was a baby-sitter for some of the kids we had on the show. Then she became famous and whenever we ask her to do something for us, she's always there. She's a part of Sesame Street." ^[2]
