action songs

Everyone knows Shake Your Sillies Out. I can think of a number of other
action song, like Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. We use them every day.
Can anyone think of any more? Thanks

I don't know "shake your sillies out". :-)
Ones we sing:
One finger one thumb keep moving
Hokey Cokey
Put your finger on your nose
Incy Wincy Spider
Grand old Duke of York
Oranges and Lemons
Here we go Looby Lou
Wibbly Wobbly Scarecrow (or snowman depending on the time of year)
Peter Rabbit's got a fly upon his nose
Miss Polly had a Dolly
The Winnie the Pooh exercise song (When I'm up, down, touch the ground)
Wheels on the bus
Hickory Dickory dock
Twinkle twinkle
Horsey Horsey, don't you stop
Banbury Cross
Hop, hop, hop, go and never stop

Thanks! I don't know a lot of these and will have to look them up, which
will be fun. Thanks a ton.

LOL dang... Beat me to it.
That's the only one I could think of...
Does "Itsy Bitsy Spider" count? You kinda do the little spider actions...

Another couple I thought of:

London Bridge Is Falling Down
The Ants Go Marching One By One ... (just have them march around and
around while they chant, and with any luck you'll tire them out.)

"Roll Over, Roll Over".

I used to do "There were X number in the bed, and the little one said,
"Roll Over, Roll Over".


My father used to sing that to us as:

Fourteen men in a boardinghouse bed
Roll over, roll over
They all rolled over when anyone said
Roll over, roll over
One man thought it would be a great joke
Not to roll over when anyone spoke
In the confusion he got his neck broke
Roll over, roll over

Thirteen men in a boardinghouse bed ...

I can see from the elementary-school reading assignment thread that this
one won't go over big in day cares nowadays.

That wasn't the way I sang it. It was (because I had four children)

There were 4 in the bed, and the little one said
Roll over, Roll Over
And they all rolled over, and one fell out.

There were 3 in the bed, and the little one said
Roll Over, Roll Over
And they all rolled over and one fell out

There were two in the bed and the little one said
Roll Over, Roll Over
And they all rolled over and one fell out.

There was one in the bed and the little one said
Good Night
