  3. Echo Song "Bill Grogen's Goat"-     
    Music- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnM2vFq4b-U
    Lyrics-  
    There was a man. (echo each line)
    Now please take note 
    There was a man
    Who had a goat
    He loved that goat
    Indeed he did
    He loved the goat
    Just like a kid
    One day that goat
    Felt frisk and fine
    Ate 3 red shirts
    Right off the line
    That man he grabbed
    Him by the back
    And tied him to
    The railroad tracks
    Now when the train
    Came into sight
    The goat grew pale
    And green with fright
    He heaved a sigh
    As if in pain
    Coughed up those shirts
    And flagged the train

    Music- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=208g0WW_8zA
    Moves-
    The kids know this one as the story of two jellyfish that sometimes get along and sometimes get grumpy with each other.
    Part A- One hand (jellyfish) makes a grabbing motion pulsing upward, then downward.  Do the same motions with the other hand.  Then do the motions with both hands at the same time.
    Part B- Swipe one hand across body and up.  Do the same with the other.  Do the same with both at the same time.
    REPEAT MOTIONS FROM PART A AND B
    Video-  This is a fun one to use with scarves (or dish towels) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT1tZjNKvVM

  8. Beat Motion "Grandma's Glasses"-  
    Lyrics to poem-
    These are grandma's glasses (index finger and thumb of each hand make circles for each eye to look through)
    And this is grandma's cap (place both hands on head)
    And this is the way she folds her hands (fold hands)
    And puts them in her lap (place folded hands on lap)
    These are grandpa's glasses (make large circles with hands to look through)
    And this is grandpa's hat (hands and arms straight up and out)
    And this is the way he folds his arms (fold arms)
    Just like that (bounce folded arms 3 times)

    Lyrics-  
    Will you wear white, oh my dear, oh my dear?  Will you wear white Jennie Jenkins?

    I won't wear white for the color's too bright.
    I'll buy me a fol-dee-rol-dee, til-dee-tol-dee, seek-a-double roll, Jennie Jenkins roll.  
    Will you wear red, oh my dear, oh my dear?  Will you wear red Jennie Jenkins?
    I won't wear red.  It's the color of my head.
    I'll buy me a fol-dee-rol-dee, til-dee-tol-dee, seek-a-double roll, Jennie Jenkins roll.  
    Will you wear blue, oh my dear, oh my dear?  Will you wear blue Jennie Jenkins?

    I will wear blue if your love is true.
    I'll buy me a fol-dee-rol-dee, til-dee-tol-dee, seek-a-double roll, Jennie Jenkins roll.  
    Will you wear green, oh my dear, oh my dear?  Will you wear green Jennie Jenkins?

    I won't wear green.  It's a shame to be seen.
    I'll buy me a fol-dee-rol-dee, til-dee-tol-dee, seek-a-double roll, Jennie Jenkins roll.  
    Will you wear purple, oh my dear, oh my dear?  Will you wear purple Jennie Jenkins?

    Will you wear black, oh my dear, oh my dear?  Will you wear black Jennie Jenkins?

    I won't wear black.  It's the color of my sack. 
    I'll buy me a fol-dee-rol-dee, til-dee-tol-dee, seek-a-double roll, Jennie Jenkins roll.  
    Then what will you wear, oh my dear, oh my dear?  What will you wear Jennie Jenkins?

    I have nothing to wear.  I can't go anywhere.
    I'll buy me a fol-dee-rol-dee, til-dee-tol-dee, seek-a-double roll, Jennie Jenkins roll.
