Songs:

Shaker Song

 

We shake shake shake shake... stop!
We shake shake shake shake... stop!
Shake them high!
Shake them low!
Shake them fast!
and shake them s...l...o...w...

(repeat) 

When we sing the shaker song we start by talking about listening because when I say stop we shouldn't hear any shakers. We also talked about opposites. If I say high, what would the opposite of high be? etc.

Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes

Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
and eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!

Now we'll sing in super slow motion:

Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
and eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!

What is the opposite of slow? (fast!) Now we'll sing it super fast - if you can keep up:

Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
and eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!
