Song: “I Wake Up My Hands”

A clap, clap, clap, a clap, clap, clap,
I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap,
And I wiggle my waggles away.

Flannel: “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!
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)
