Clap our Hands for Baby
Does anyone have a baby at home? How about twins? This is a poem for the teacher to say while the children do the actions. Aim to say the words rhythmically, or use yoursing-song voice, and model doing the actions in time with the pulse. The children copy the actions in time with the pulse. It's best to sit on the floor as young children seem to find it easier to stamp their feet without worrying about balancing on one leg! Remember to make the verses sound different in character.
- Verse 1 - quietly - clap hands
- Verse 2 - louder - stamp feet
- Verse 3 - sweetly and slowly - rock arms
- Clap our hands for baby
- Clap them this way
- This way, that way
- Clap them this way
