You

Last week we learned all about our bodies. Toddlers and Preschoolers love talking about themselves when they finally have enough words in their vocabulary to do so! And what a fun topic to talk about our body parts, do the hokey pokey, and learn all about YOU!

Song: I Have 10 Little Fingers

Hokey Pokey (for little ones):

You put your arms UP!

You put your arms DOWN!

You put your arms UP and you shake them all around!

You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around, 

And that's what it's all about!

Repeat with: Elbows, Shoulders, etc.
