Rhymes/Fingerplays/Songs:

Hokey Pokey (the simpler version):

You put your hands up, you put your hands down,

You put your hands up, and you shake them all about.

You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around,

And that's what it's all about!

Repeat with: elbows, shoulders, knees, toes, etc.

Song: Let's Dance Today - Rock 'n' Rainbow (Let's Boogie!)

Five Ballerinas:

Five little ballerinas, prancing on their toes. 

They twirl and spin and jump, then off the stage she (he) goes. 

Count down...4, 3, 2, 1

Penny Pointers:

Penny pointers up and penny pointers down,

Penny pointers dancing all around the town.

They're dancing on your shoulders,

They're dancing on your head,

They're dancing on your tummies,

Now put them to bed.

Repeat with: Tommy Thumbs, Polly Pinkies, Finger Families
