Hands Up

Reach for the ceiling.
Touch the floor;
Stand up tall
Let’s do some more.

Touch your head.
Touch your knees;
Up to your shoulders,
Like this—see?

Reach for the ceiling.
Touch the floor.
That’s all for now—
There is no more.


Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
(Place both hands on body part as you say it)
Can be sung to the tune from
"There is a Tavern in the Town"
or "Here we go round the Mulberry Bush"
Kids love to sing the song going
faster and faster until they can't keep up at all.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes,
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose.
