The Number Dance
By Eric Litwin
Lyrics:
1 2 – shake your shoe
3 4 – touch the floor
5 6 – do the twist
7 8 – silly shake
9 10 – do the chicken
Side to side
Up and down
Zig zag
Round and round
0 1 – touch the sun
2 3 – shake your knee
4 5 – hand jive
6 7 – jump to heaven
8 9 – slippery slide
Side to side
Up and down
Zig zag
Round and round
Activities:
Dance & Sing (rhythm & motor development – all ages): Play the CD while singing, & act out the move of each line. You can either sing the response with your child, or for older kids try singing the lead lyrics yourself while your child sings the responses.
Make Up Rhymes (language development & creativity – ages 2-5): Sing the song without the CD, and encourage your child to make up alternate rhymes for each set of numbers.
