A Game To Play
Tune: Looby Lou
Here is a game to play,
Here is a game we like,
We can play it in the day,
We can play it in the night.
We tap our heads like this,
We tap our heads like that,
Tap one and two-once more will do,
So give it one more pat.
Additional Verses:
We tap our tummies, etc.
We tap our knees, etc.
We tap our toes, etc.

Skicky Tape
Need: different types of tape
Cut strips of masking and cellophane tape and partially attach them to the edge of a table.
Two's love tape! Use the tape to identify body parts. Ask the children to place a piece of tape on the body part you name (Place tape on your nose, knee...).
See and Say</p>
A simple game to teach both listening skills and following directions. With the children sitting in a circle give commands such as "touch your fingers to your toes" or "put your hand on your thigh." When the children do this well give two instructions at once, "put one hand on your head and the other hand on your tummy."
