9. Warm-down and give out magic sparkles
‘Warm-Down Rhyme’ by Lucy Milan Davis & Sarah Moss We’ve had lots of fun in Danceland,
But it’s time to say farewell,
So let’s take out our magic wands, “ping”,
And say our magic spell.
I wiggle my fingers, I wiggle my toes,
I wiggle my shoulders, I wiggle my nose.
Say abracadabra, 1, 2, 3,
And we’re back in the real world (whisper) still as can be.
