This song is available on Margie La Bella's Move!

Move it in front of your chair.
In the front, in the front, right there.
1, 2, 3, 4,     5, 6, 7,    8, 9, 10.
Do it again.

(Spoken: Alright, kids, let's move it behind our chair.)
Move behind your chair.
In the back, in the back right there.
1, 2, 3, 4,    5, 6, 7,     8, 9, 10.
Do it again.

(Spoken: Ok guys, let's move it over our chair.)
Move it over your chair.
Way up; up high over there.
        Over there. Over your chair. ....

(Spoken: Now think of a way to move on the side of your chair.)
Move it on the side of your chair.
On the side. On the side right there.
           1, 2, 3, 4,    5, 6, 7,     8, 9, 10.
Do it again.

(Spoken: The last way to move is under your chair.)
Move it under your chair.
Underneath, underneath right there.
        Over there. Over your chair. ....

(spoken: Alright, Let's see how you can move!)

             
Benefits:
Aids in experiential learning of the concepts: in front of, behind, on the side, over, and under.

Other Uses:
The children learn about spatial relationships (prepositions) and counting while dancing freely to a lively beat. You may want to pause the CD after each direction is sung, help the children to the correct location, and then resume the music and dancing. The children can relax and listen to the fading drum beats at the end of the song.
