Activities for classes in the nursery
1. Sing each verse once acapella with the actions and then once with your melodic instrument. Adults to help the babies with the actions. Change 'jump' to 'bounce'.
2. If there are lots of adults joining in with the actions you can play your melodic instrument from the start and sing through each verse once.
3. You can make up your own verses or take suggestions from the staff.
Activities for classes with parents
1. As above except parents bounce their baby on their lap for 'bounce around'.
Same as for babies classes in the nursery except the older toddlers can 'jump' instead of 'bounce'.
1. The children will probably already know the song and when to perform the actions in which case you can sing along with your melodic instrument from the beginning. However if they aren't clear on when to clap, stamp etc., then do activity one for babies in the nursery first.
2. Ask volunteers to suggest new verses (e.g. bounce your knees or laugh out loud).
