#13 RULES OF ENGAGEMENT - SINGING DIRECTIONS

For some reason children seem to be more eager to follow directions when you sing what you want them to do.

Give Me a Clap
(Tune: “Addams Family”)
Give me a clap. (Clap twice.) Give me a clap. (Clap twice.)
Give me a clap, give me a clap,
Give me a clap. (Clap twice.)
Give me a snap. (Snap twice.) Give me a snap. (Snap twice.)
Now fold your hands and put them down
Into your lap. (Model putting your hands in your lap.)

Na Na Na Na 

(Tune: “Land of a Thousand Dances”)
Na na na na, na na na na, (Wave hands in the air.)
Hey, hey, good job. (Hands on hips and then clap.)
Na na na na, na na na na,
Hey, hey, sit down. (Or whatever you want them to do.)

                                    


Name on Your Paper

(Tune: "Shine and a hair cut - two bits")

Where does it go?
At the top.

Hold hands with a friend, a circle never ends.
We can make a circle and hold hands right now.
      

If You Don’t Know What to Do
