Your neither up or down
- Bridge - Open Shut Them (fingerplay)
(open and close hands)
Open, shut them
Give a little clap (clap)
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Put them in your lap
(put hands in lap)
Creep them, creep them
Under your chin
(creep fingers up chest)
Open your mouth, but don't put them in
(do as words say)
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little clap
Open shut them
Open shut them
Put them in your lap

Gathering roses to give to the queen
Little girl, little, girl, what gave she you?
She gave me a diamond as big a my shoe
- Sit-down Activity - Lords and Ladies In a Row (fingerplay written by Carol Hopkins)
They bow their heads to honor the queen
Five noble lords, standing in a row
They bow their heads to honor the king
They stand in two straight lines and politely applaud
Then they come together and dance at the ball

- Activity – Not Much Different (action chant written by Carol Hopkins)

They can dance
They can jump
They can sit
They are not much different from you or me
