Body Part Action Song

[15 Minutes]

Try this body part action song and help your child learn the names of body parts and do some creative thinking as well!

What to do:

1. Invite your child to exercise with you. As you work out together, teach her this song (Tune: "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush"):

   This is the way my eyes can move,
   Eyes can move,
   Eyes can move,
   This is the way my eyes can move
   On a sunny morning.(Or choose your own ending!)

2. Continue together with all parts of the body--arms, legs, fingers, toes, knees, elbows, and so on.

How to use:

Let your child think of ways different people move doing specific actions. (For example: This is the way the baker moves...when he rolls out dough!)

Let's Talk: Ideas to Explore Together.

• What parts of the body did we move? How did we move them?
