Rhyme: “Patty Cake”
Patty cake, patty cake, baker’s man, (clap)
Bake me a cake as fast as you can. (clap)
Roll it, (roll one hand over the other)
And pat it, (pat legs)
And mark it with a “B,” (make the letter B on baby’s tummy)
And put it in the oven for Baby and me! (hands flat, then point to baby, then you)

Song: “Baby Hokey Pokey”
You put your arms up,
You put your arms down,
You put your arms up,
And you wave them all around.
And you tickle, tickle, tickle,
And you wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
That’s how baby hokey pokey goes. (clap)

Additional verses:
You put your legs up…
You put your baby up…
