**This is the Way We Clap Our Hands<\/em>
\n(Tune: “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush”)
\nThis is the way we clap our hands,
\nClap our hands, clap our hands.
\nThis is the way we clap our hands,
\nSo early in the morning.<\/p>\n

This is the way we tap our toes…

\nThis is the way we stomp our feet… <\/p>\n

***Not Say a Single Word<\/em>
\n(Suit actions to words.)
\nCan you hop, hop, hop like a bunny?
\nCan you run, run, run like a dog?
\nCan you walk, walk, walk like a elephant?
\nCan you jump, jump, jump like a frog?
\nCan you swim, swim, swim like a goldfish?
\nCan you fly, fly, fly like a bird?
\nCan you sit right down and fold your hands,
\nAnd not say a single word?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
