Flannel Rhyme: “Shoes”
Start with an orange shoe on the board.
I was walking along the street one day (march)
With my knees up high, can you walk this way?
But I stepped in something. Now what should I do?
My favorite, fastest shoes have turned the color blue!

I was hopping along the street one day (hop)
On just one foot, can you hop this way?
But I hopped in something. Now I’m filled with dread.
My favorite, fastest shoes have turned the color red!

I was twirling along the street one day, (turn in a circle)
Around and around, can you twirl this way?
But I twirled into something, and I’m not a happy fellow.
My favorite, fastest shoes have turned the color yellow!

I tiptoed along the street one day (tiptoe)
Way up on my toes, can you tiptoe this way?
But I tiptoed in something. Now I’m about to make a scene,
For my favorite, fastest shoes have turned the color green!

I stood perfectly still on the street one day, (stand in place)
With my feet like this, can you stand this way?
I stepped into nothing, but this isn’t very fun.
My favorite, fastest shoes are meant to run, run, run! (run in place)
