Stand-up activity – This Is the Way We Play In the Snow (action
song written by Carol Hopkins to the tune of "Here We go Round the
Mulberry Bush")
This is the way we stomp through the snow, stomp through the
snow, stomp through the snow.
This is the way we stomp through the snow,
When we go out to play.
This is the way we hop through the snow, hop
through the snow, hop through the snow.
This is the way we hop through the snow,
When we go out to play.

with other action words)
Transition #1 - Open-Shut Them
(fingerplay)
Open, shut them
(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

Tommy Thumb up,
Tommy Thumb down,

Dance them on your head,
Dance them on your shoulders,
Then tuck them into bed.
