Songs and rhymes to share:

This Little Piggy           Head Shoulders Knees and Toes         1-2 Buckle My Shoe     The Hokey Pokey

 

If  You’re Happy and You Know It        Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed         Where is Thumbkin?

 

Where is My Nose?                                                                  Twiddle Your Thumbs  (suit actions to words)

I uncover my eyes          (cover and uncover eyes)                        Twiddle your thumbs, clap your hands

And what do I see          (hold hands out to sides)                        And then you touch your feet

I can see you                 (point to a friend)                                    Shake your hands, then raise them high

And I can see me           (point to self)                                         And make your fingers meet

I can see my fingers       (wiggle fingers)                                       Point to the left,  point to the right

I can see my toes          (touch toes)                                           And give another clap

I can see my tummy      (pat tummy)                                           Wave your hands, then fold your hands

But I can’t see my nose!             (touch nose)                              And put them in your lap

 

Touch Game (suit actions to words)                                           Jack in the box

Touch your nose, touch your chin                                                Jack in the box  (crouch down)

That’s the way this game begins                                                 Lying so still

Touch your eyes, touch your knees                                             Won’t you come out?

Now pretend you’re going to sneeze                                            Yes I wil!           (jump up)

Touch your hair, touch one ear

Touch your two red lips right here                                        The Royal Duke

Touch your elbows where they bend                                   Oh the royal duke of York

That’s the way this touch game ends!                                    He had 10 thousand men            (hold up 10 fingers)

                                                                                                He marched them up to the top of the hill      (march on toes)

                                                                                                And marched them down again               (crouch down)

                                                                                                And when they’re up, they’re up              (march on toes)

                                                                                                And when they’re down, they’re down      (crouch down)

                                                                                                And when they’re only halfway up        
                                                                                                                                       (bend kness) 
                                                                                               They’re neither up           (march on toes)

                                                                                               Nor down                        (crouch down)
