Get the Wiggles Out

Sometimes, kids get wiggly. Let's face it. There's just too much energy stuffed in those adorable, little bodies. So what can you do? Sometimes a good wiggle song can help them out, especially one that reminds them to sit still at the end...

I Wiggle

I wiggle, wiggle, wiggle my fingers, 

I wiggle, wiggle, wiggle my toes. 

I wiggle, wiggle, wiggle my shoulders, 

I wiggle, wiggle, wiggle my nose. 

Now no more wiggles are left in me, 

So I will be as still as I can be. 

Finger Dances/Wiggles

Wiggle your fingers up,

Wiggle your fingers down.

Wiggle your fingers all around.

Wiggle them on your shoulders,

Wiggle them on your head.

Wiggle them on your knees,

And tuck them into bed.

Dance your fingers up, 

Dance your fingers down.

Dance your fingers to the side, 

Dance them all around.

Dance them on your shoulders, 

Dance them on you head.

Dance them on your tummy, 

And put them all to bed.

Dinosaur, Dinosaur

Dinosaur, dinosaur, turn around

Dinosaur, dinosaur, touch the ground

Dinosaur, dinosaur, give a roar!

Dinosaur, dinosaur, stomp the floor

Dinosaur, dinosaur, touch your nose

Dinosaur, dinosaur, touch your toes

Dinosaur, dinosaur, slap your knees

Dinosaur, dinosaur, sit down please

(can be anything, not just dinosaur)

The Wiggles

A wiggle wiggle here,

A wiggle wiggle there,

Wiggle your hands up in the air.

Wiggle your shoulders,

Wiggle your hips,

Wiggle your knees,

And move your lips.

Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle.

And wiggle some more –

And now let’s sit down on the floor.

I’m Very, Very Tall

I’m very, very tall

I’m very, very small

Tall!

Small!

Now I’m a little ball.

(repeat several times)
