Flannel: Shoes
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)
* Start with orange shoe on the board.

Rhyme: “Old Shoes, New Shoes”
Old shoes, new shoes
I am wearing my shoes
One, two, three, four
Now I stomp them on the floor! (repeat, going faster and faster)
