Helpful Hands

Today the kids were already clapping before I started the Hello song, so we warmed up with as many clapping songs as I could think of. When we followed with songs like Head and Shoulders and Bath Time, the kids were quick to shout out the names of all the body parts in the songs. However, the call and response of body parts was a bit less successful during Elephants Have Wrinkles, but maybe the kids and grown-ups just needed to hear it a couple more times. Regardless, the kids were still enthusiastic and ready to help bring out the instrument bag, with so many kids helping carry it that I didn’t need to lift it for them at all! Great helpers!
