Ribbon/Movement Chants/Songs

We've been having fun with our RIBBON STREAMERS trying out some new songs and chants. Here are the words to them:


Wave it UP HIGH

Wave it DOWN LOW

Wave it IN THE MIDDLE

And AROUND JUST SO!

Wave it by your EYES

Wave it by your NOSE

Wave it by your CHIN

And swipe it across your TOES!


Roly poly, roly poly

up, up, up. (move ribbon up)

Roly poly, roly poly

down, down, down. (move ribbon down)

Roly poly, roly poly

in, in, in, (move ribbon in toward body)

Roly poly, roly poly

out, out, out! (move ribbon out away from body)

I have used these two chants with all ages--from infants--with me performing and them watching, to preschoolers--their favorite way is to first sing it slow, then repeat singing it faster, and faster and faster!

You can also adapt other songs to use with ribbons--Head and Shoulders, for example!
