Traditional Folk Song
(bend forward from the waist on "in", then stand up straight again on "out")
Go in and out the window,
Go in and out the window,
Go in and out the window,
As we have done before.
More verses from '' Sing Us a Story, opens a new window''by Jane Marino:
Let’s clap our hands together…
Let’s reach up to the ceiling…
Let’s walk around the circle…
Now go back to your places…
Try singing the chorus between each verse.
Add your own verses! Here are more ideas:
let's spin around and 'round
let's jump like frogs together
let's wriggle like a worm
let's tiptoe 'round the circle
let's hop around the circle
let's curl up in a ball
let's jump up the air
let's sit down on the floor
Version for babies:
(in groups, sit holding child on lap, facing away from you so baby can see all the other children!)
Go in and out the window, (reach their arms forward on "in")
Go in and out the window, (raise their arms straight up on "out")
Go in and out the window,
As we have done before. (bounce child)
Let's clap our hands together...
We'll tickle, tickle, tickle...
And now we'll wave bye-bye...
more actions to try: go from side to side (lean), stamp feet, fly up in the sky (lift child)
