Song: “Hockey Pokey”
You put your right glove in,
You put your right glove out,
You put your right glove in,
And you shake it all about.

You do the hockey pokey,
And you skate yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!

Additional verses:
2) left glove
3) right skate
4) left skate
5) helmet
6) stick

Song: “Hockey Game” (Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
Pat, pat, pat your gloves
Quickly on your knees.
Hurry now, hurry now, hurry now, hurry now,
Your fingers mustn’t freeze.

Bend, bend, bend your legs
Quickly, it’s your role.
Hurry now, hurry now, hurry now, hurry now,
You must defend the goal.

Pass, pass, pass the puck
Quickly, with your stick
Hurry now, hurry now, hurry now, hurry now,
To score you must be quick.

Skate, skate toward the net
Quickly win the game.
Happy now, happy now, happy now, happy now,
Fans will shout your name, hooray!
