How to Play
Teach children the words to the song (below). While singing, touch both hands to the
head, then the shoulders, then the knees, and then the toes, in time with the words.
Then on the second verse, miss out the word “Head”, but still do the actions. On the
third verse, miss out the word “Shoulders”, and so on. Finish with all the words
back in, but singing as fast as possible!
