Up and Down, Round and Round


Up and down, round and round (draw circles in the air), put your fingers on the ground. 

Over (hold hands above lap) under, (below legs) in between (you've hidden your hands in between your legs)

Now my fingers can't be seen!
Hands in front, hands behind, now my hands I cannot find. 

Here's my left hand, here's my right, 
Hands and fingers back in sight (wriggle fingers).



By Jean Warren

Once there were some little worms.
And all they did, was squirm and squirm.
They wiggled and wiggled up and down.
They wiggled and wiggled all around. (Let your children around for a while)

They wiggled and wiggled and wiggled until,
They were tired and could sit very still. (Have children sit down)

Now they could listen,
Now they could see
All of the things
I have here with me. (Start your story or circle time activity)



Hands

Open your hand,
Then clap, clap, clap
Now, you lay them in your lap.
Two little eyes looking straight ahead.
Two little ears, hearing what is said.
