We like the music
We like the sound
We like to listen all around.
We like to play without a care.
Stop! Put your instrument under your chair.

(Pause) TICK TOCK

Touch your shoulders. Cross arms and give a hug.
Touch your shoulders, now, give a hug.
Touch your shoulders. Now, stop right there!
Get your instrument from under your chair.

Touch your elbow, now the other one.
Switch your elbow to the first one.
Switch it back. Now, stop right there!
Get your instrument from under your chair.

Cris-cross your hands and tap your knees.
It’s as easy as a breeze.
Cris-cross some more and stop right there!
Get your instrument from under your chair.

Cris-cross your feet and stamp them up and down.
Cris-cross again move them around.
Cross again and stamp and stop right there!
Get your instrument from under your chair.

Cris-cross your whole legs like the grown-up do.
Switch legs now. I can do it too.
Cris-cross your legs and stop right there.
Get your instrument from under your chair.

Benefits: Teaches sequencing/patterning of events, ability to follow directions. Helps children with the concepts of “under,” “stop,” “get it.” Other uses: Helps children follow simple directives, and/or acquire developmental coordination. Younger children will utilize a good deal of concentration and impulse control. Feel free to use the pause button on your CD player in between verses if some children need more time to process and follow the directions.
