**Wind the Bobbin Up**
Wind the bobbin up, wind the bobbin up. Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap. Wind the bobbin up, wind the bobbin up. Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap. Point to the ceiling, point to the floor. Point the the window and point to the door. Clap your hands together, 1 2 3 Put your hands upon your knees.

I Nod My Head
I nod my head and clap my hands And then I stamp my feet I stretch up high and bend down low Then sit upon the ground. I touch my toes while sitting down Then jump up in the air I walk around on tippy toes And sit down in my chair.

**Two Little Feet Go Tap**
Two little feet go tap, tap, tap, Two little hands go clap, clap, clap. I stand up quietly by my chair, then... Two little arms reach hight in the air. Two little feet go jump, jump, jump, Two little fists go thump, thump, thump. One little body goes round and round, And one little child sits quietly down.

Hear My Hands
Hear my hands go clap, clap, clap High up in the air Hear my fists go thump, thump, thump On my knees down there See my arm go up, up ,up Stretching oh so high See my hands come slowly down In my lap to lie.

Two Little Dickie-Birds sitting on a Wall
Two little dickie-birds sitting on a wall, One named Peter, one named Paul. Fly away Peter, fly away Paul, Come back Peter, come back Paul.

**Grandmother's Glasses**
These are Grandmother's glasses //(make circles around each eye with fingers)// This is Grandmother's cap //(hold fingers interlocked over head)// This is the way she folds her hands //(fold hands)// And lays them in her lap //(lay hands in lap)//

Hands on Shoulders
Hands on shoulders, Hands on knees. Hands behind you, If you please; Touch your shoulders, Now your nose, Now your hair and now your toes; Hands up high in the air, Down at your sides, and touch your hair; Hands up high as before, Now clap your hands, one-two-three-four!

Hands
My hands upon my head I'll place, Upon my shoulders, on my face, At my waist and by my side, Now behind me they will hide. Now I'll raise them way up high, And let my fingers fly, fly, fly, Then clap, clap, clap them-- One - Two - Three! Now see how quiet they can be.

Ten Fingers
I have ten little fingers And they belong to me, I can make them do things, Would you like to see? I can shut them up tight, Or I can make them wide, I can put them together, Or make them all hide, I can make them jump high, I can make them jump low, I can fold them quietly, And hold them just so.


 * Open Them Shut Them**

Open, shut them, Open, shut them, Give a little clap. Open, shut them, Open, shut them, Put them in you lap. Creep them, creep them, creep them, creep them, Right up to your chin, chin, chin Open wide your little mouth (// hesitate) // But do not put them in.

**Ready to Listen**
Let your hands go clap, clap, clap; Let your fingers snap, snap, snap; Let your lips go very round, But do not make a sound. Fold your hands and close each eye; Take a breath and softly sigh; Ahhhhhhh.

Ready To Start
Hands together, Hands apart, Hands together, We're ready to start.
