LYRICS

CLAP THE WORDS

Next let’s echo clap the words.

SCARF MOVEMENT

There are 3 main patterns in this song.

Practice each pattern without music first.

If you use this activity with Preschool or Kindergarten, then only use one of the movements for the song along with wiggling.

#1 DOWN- DOWN -CIRCLE- CIRCLE

#2 CROSSOVER R-CROSSOVER L

#3 WIGGLE

Ideas for teaching:

Practice slowly without music.

Practice one pattern to the steady beat.

Practice one pattern per class time.

Be sure to go at the students pace.
