PEANUT BUTTER AND WALLY ACHA




Peanut Butter (Tune: "Allouette")
Peanut butter, we like peanut butter. (Clap hands and march to the beat.)
Peanut butter, that’s what we like best.
Do you like it on your head? (Point to head.)
Yes, we like it on our head.
On your head?
On our head.
Ohhhhhh. (Hands on cheeks and move head from side to side.)

Do you like it on your shirt… (Point to shirt.)

Do you like it on your pants… (Point to pants.)

Do you like it on your socks… (Point to socks.)

Do you like it on your shoes… (Point to shoes.)

On your underwear? (Cover your eyes.)


*Is someone in your room allergic to peanuts? Let them explain what an allergy is and why they can't eat peanut butter. Let them choose another food to insert in the song, such as "macaroni" or "watermelon."

*Tie in with standards by focusing on the questions and statements.

*Cut a sheet of paper in half and then fold in half to make a book. Run off the attached worksheet and let the children put the pictures in the book in sequential order.


 


Wally Acha

Doodley do, doodley do. (Touch nose and ear with opposite hands.)
Wally acha, wally acha, (Slap thighs and then cross palms.)
Doodley do, doo
dley do.  (Touch nose and ear with opposite hands.)

It’s a simple little song there’s not much to it,   (Slap thighs and then cross palms.)

All you’ve got to do is doodley do it.  (Touch nose and ear.)

Wally acha, wally acha,  (Slap thighs and then cross palms.)

Doodley, doodley do.  Poo poo!  (Touch nose and ear.)

 

Activities:  Simplify the motions.  Instead of touching your nose and ear, just touch your left shoulder with your right hand and your right shoulder with your left hand.

Let children be leader and make motions for the rest of the class to follow.
