Movement Song: Grand Old Duke of York

Actions: Most people tend to stand up for the Grand Old Duke marching his men up the hill, squat down when they march them down again, and find a middle ground – for when they “were only half way up” and so “neither up nor down”.


Lyrics:

Oh, The grand old Duke of York,

He had ten thousand men;

He marched them up to the top of the hill,

And he marched them down again.


And when they’re up, they’re up,

And when they’re down, they’re down,

And when they’re only halfway up,

They’re neither up nor down.


Social Skills: Inside/Outside Voice

Lyrics:

There are lots of ways to use our voice, Use our voice, Use our voice

Lots of ways to use our voice, Outside and inside

When we are outside We can be loud Laa La La Laa La La La Laa La

When we are inside it’s time to be quiet Doo doo do doo do Do do doo do

Lots of ways to use our voice. Use our voice, Use our voice Lots of ways to use our voice Outside and inside!


Movement Song: Parachute


Video showing melody:

*Parachutes are in the middle room on a shelf. The big size will be best for EC.


"Not everyone will get a parachute handle"


Lyrics:

“Up and down. Up and down. Up and down.

It goes fast fast fast, fast fast fast.”

“Up and down. Up and down. Up and down.

It goes fast fast fast, fast fast fast.”


"Now that you have a hang of this, I am going to invite a few of you to go under the parachute. The expectation is that you will sit, and keep your feet on the floor, and your hands in your lap."


While Cleaning Up Parachute: sing "Kookabura"


Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,

Merry, merry king of the bush is he,

Laugh, kookaburra, Laugh, kookaburra,

How happy your life must be!


"Light a Candle for Peace"
