Song: Shake My Piano

See my piano,
(Curve fingers and rest on a table. )
Five keys in a row.
Some keys will sound high (So),
Some keys will sound low (Do).
To play the piano,
(Press down each key so that it lies
flat)
Each key has a turn:
Start-one
(Do), two(Re)
Then-three
(Mi),
four (Fa),
five (So).

Movement Activity: Hands Up

Put your hands way up,
Put your hands way out, Put your hands way down,
And give a clap, clap, clap.
Put your right foot out and in,
Put your left foot out and in,
Now put both your feet out,
And kick, kick, kick.
