If You're Happy and You Know it...Jump!

20:11

Today we're focusing on movement again, as Ethan is now a very confident walker he has started to experiment with other movements.  We were dancing the other day and I taught him to spin around, he's been jumping off big mats at Gymboree and now we're trying to teach him to jump up and down.  His favourite word at the moment is 'jump' so this is also a great activity to expand his vocabulary.



So we sang 'If You're Happy and You Know it', adding in different actions and movements that he knows and some he hasn't yet mastered.  We had lots of fun dancing around together, learning new ways of moving as part of his Physical Development and working on listening skills as he follows instructions.


If You're Happy and You Know It

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands,
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands,
If you're happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.

If you're happy and you know it spin around,
If you're happy and you know it spin around,
If you're happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it spin around.

If you're happy and you know it stomp your feet,
If you're happy and you know it stomp your feet,
If you're happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it stomp your feet.

If you're happy and you know it jump up high,
If you're happy and you know it jump up high,
If you're happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it jump up high.
