Let children point to and hold their chins and say “chin.”) (Make a point of demonstrating what “chin” is the first time.“Open wide your little mouth” - Open your mouth wide.(Again, pause here to let them all open and point to their mouths, and to practice saying “mouth” (not “mouse”).“But do not put them in!” - Dramatically pull your hands away from your mouth, down behind your back.Go through the song several times-each time getting a little bit faster-and maybe progress from saying it to singing it. You could give more confident children the opportunity to lead from the front or to sing it as a solo/duet. Now play a game to practice the vocabulary they have just learned. Review: Draw a big face on the board with an open mouth (and obvious chin). Leave the drawing up once you’ve finished reviewing, as you will use it in the game. Practice: Practice “creeping” with their fingers (you could creep your fingers up the board), and then creeping/crawling with their bodies across the floor on their hands and knees. (Note: Some doctors believe that crawling is a valuable physical brain training activity for young children.)ġ. Have one or two children wait off to the side. Others (all or a team, depending on class size) sit facing the board.Ģ. Put a line on the floor in front of the board (masking tape works well).ģ. Everyone sings the song while doing the actions.Ĥ. When you get to the “Creep them, creep them” line, the children facing the board “creep” or crawl along the floor towards the “chin” without crossing the line on the floor.
