Singing Games Activity Book - I Found a Box of Matches

The "Singing Games Activity Book" presents a playful and energetic clapping and skipping game titled "I Found a Box of Matches". It's a lively song that involves a series of coordinated movements to accompany the catchy lyrics. Children are engaged in a fun routine that starts with a sequence of claps: right, left, and then together, repeated twice. As the children sing the whimsical lines "Ay Ay yippie yippie Ay", they link arms with a partner and skip around in a circle, adding a joyous physical element to the game.

The excitement peaks when, immediately following the skipping, the children shout "YEE HAH!" in unison. This is accompanied by a specific action where they clap their hands once in front of them for "YEE" and then lift a leg to clap under the knee for "HAH". This sequence is repeated, changing direction for added fun. When they reach the humorous line "YOUR MOTHER'S GOT THE HIPPY", the children are encouraged to wiggle their hips in time with the music, before linking arms once more to skip around for the final line. It's a delightful game that combines singing, rhythm, and movement, perfect for energetic playtime.
