Tickle Tickle (Für Elise)
Music by Ludwig Van Beethoven
Lyrics and adaptation by Eric Litwin and Michael Levine

Lyrics:

 

Tickle tickle tickle tickle nose 

Tickle down 

To your toes 


Tickle tickle tickle tickle nose 

Tickle down 

To your toes

Tickle arms 

Tickle legs 

Tickle belly 

Tickle head

And now we bounce 

Up and down (3x) 

And now we bounce 

Up and down
And now we all will shake

Activities:   
 

Lap Song: Lap songs are a great opportunity for parent/ child bonding, and they can teach rhythm, motor coordination & balance to your child. Place your child on your lap.


Hold hands in the air and wiggle fingers, creating anticipation for the upcoming tickle. Then tickle each body part, following the words of the song. For the bridge, bounce your child up & down on your lap or knees.

Classical Music Exploration: Listen to a recording of Beethoven’s original Für Elise as you do household activities or play with your child.
