Activity: 
Put your hand over your head. Put your shoulder under your chin. Touch your leg with your toes. Put your wrist in back of your spine. Can you hold this shape and twist a little? ... bend a little? See if you can make the whole shape move with the music. Can you hold the shape and bounce? ... sway? ... travel across the room?



My hand is over my head
My shoulder is under my chin
My toes are touching my leg
And my wrist is in back of my spine

Chorus:
I twist a little here and bend a little there
And now I think you will agree I hardly look like me ...
I'm a pretzel , I'm a pretzel
But please don't eat me up
I'm not a snack inside a sack
On top of your T.V.
I'm a pretzel , I'm a pretzel
But please don't eat me up
I'm just pretend ,oh yes, my friend ;
Don't try to chew on me


My thumb is under my ear
My hand is holding my elbow
My arm is stuck on my leg
And my ankle is behind my knee

(repeat chorus)
