Just like this.

1. Ask the children to find their heads. "Where are your heads?" You sing the first verse with your melodic instrument and the adults in the room help the children to tap their heads to the pulse. Repeat the process for the other body parts. If there are no adults helping you and the babies need more guidance, sing each verse once acapella demonstrating the actions and then once with your melodic instrument. You should always perform the indicated action during the spoken part regardless of whether or not you are playing your melodic instrument.
1. Same as for babies

1. Tap the appropriate body part/s as you sing the song.
2. Take out your remote control and press “slow motion”. Perform the song slowly.
3. Take out your remote control and press “fast forward”. Perform the song quickly.
4. Accompany the children with your melodic instrument as they sing at a medium tempo.
5. The children use their “thinking voices” for head. They should understand thinking voices from the 'Yes We Can' game. Start by mouthing the word 'head'. Do this activity unaccompanied. If/when they get the hang of it you can add thinking voices to 'shoulders' then 'knees' and then 'toes'.
