• Closing - Round of Applause (action rhyme adapted from Rob Reid)

You're so great!
Now please stand
Give yourself a great big hand.
Clap the floor,
Clap your face,
And clap the air.
Clap your elbows,
Clap your feet,
Clap your pinkies,
And clap your seat.
Clap with flippers,
Clap with claws,
Now a bigRound of applause!

• Craft - Make a toilet paper tube windsock by glueing crepe paper streamers to a TP tube and decorating with stickers.
