I wake up my hands with a clap clap clap
Clap clap clap, clap clap clap
I wake up my hands with a clap clap clap
Then I wake up my hands some more

Hips… wiggle…

First Book
Baby Builders, by Elissa Haden Guest and Illustrated by Hiroe Nakata
Finger Play: Brick by Brick
Brick by brick
By brick by brick,
My building’s so high,
It’s scraping the sky.
(Place fists one on top of the other, going higher each time.)
Brick by brick
By brick by brick,
My building will sway
When the wind blows this way.
(Sway left, then right.)
Brick by brick
By brick by brick,
Now I’m ready to stop
And a flag goes on top.
(Open one fist and wave hand left and right.)

Group Song
This is the way we pound our nails,
pound our nails, pound our nails.
This is the way we pound our nails so early in the morning!
Repeat with:
Saw the wood
Turn the screw
Stack the bricks
Stir the paint
Paint the walls

Wiggle Song
My right foot has the wiggles,
my right foot has the wiggles,
My right food has the wiggles
& I tell it now to STOP.
I’m trying to sit here nicely,
I’m trying to sit here nicely
I’m trying to sit here nicely,
but my left foot wants to BOP.
My left foot has the wiggles,
my left foot has the wiggles,
My left foot has the wiggles,
& I tell it now to STOP.
I’m trying to sit here nicely,
I’m trying to sit here nicely
I’m trying to sit here nicely,
but my left hand wants to BOP.
My left hand has the wiggles,
my left hand has the wiggles,
My left hand has the wiggles,
& I tell it now to STOP.
I’m trying to sit here nicely,
I’m trying to sit here nicely
I’m trying to sit here nicely,
but my right hand wants to BOP.
My right hand has the wiggles,
my right hand has the wiggles,
My right hand has the wiggles
& I tell it now to STOP.
I’m trying to sit here nicely,
I’m trying to sit here nicely
I’m trying to sit here nicely,
but my whole body wants to BOP
My body has the wiggles,
my body has the wiggles,
my body has the wiggles,
& I tell it now to STOP!
