Tune: Old MacDonald Had a Farm
Sing very slowly.
Puppet clown, oh, puppet clown
Moving left, and right, and down
Puppet clown, oh, puppet clown
Always smiling, never frown
Note: Remember to move right when you say left and left when you say right so the child will correctly mirror the directions.

(Have the child echo each phrase and copy your actions)
This is my right hand (This is my right hand)
I raise it up high (I raise it up high)
This is my left hand (This is my left hand)
I’ll touch the sky (I'll touch the sky)
Right hand (Right hand)
Left hand (Left hand)
Whirl them around (Whirl them around)
Right hand (Right hand)
Left hand (Left hand)
Pound, pound, pound (Pound, pound, pound)
