"My LO's daycare class has a sing-along every Tuesday afternoon" = either a hyphen or one word. I prefer the hyphen, as IMO it's not a traditionally agglutinated word so it shouldn't be written as one, but I wouldn't really quibble with either.

I've Googled it extensively but there isn't a definitive answer I can find beyond just dictionary definitions. I prefer to write it as one word ("singalong") but I usually see it as two words ("sing along") or with a hyphen ("sing-along"). If you had to pick just one way to spell it, which would you choose?
