- Book #1 – I Don't Want a Cool Cat! by Emma Dodd
- Stand-up Activity - Can You Walk on Tiptoe? (action rhyme adapted by Carol Hopkins from a rhyme I found in I'm a Little Teapot! by Jane Cobb)
Can you Meow?
Can you Purr?
Can you walk on tiptoe as softly as a cat?
And can you stamp along the road, stamp, stamp just like that?
Can you take a really fast pace as if you are running a race?
Or can you walk so slowly?
As if you are a cat ready to curl up for a nap.
- 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
