Rhyme: Winter Talking to your child throughout the day, even when they’re too young to really respond, is so important to their language growth and development.
I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap
A clap, clap, clap
A clap, clap, clap
I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap
And I wiggle my waggles away
(other verses: feet & stomp, head & nod, belly & beep, eyes & blink, hips & shake)
Sssh…let’s listen, it’s winter outside.
I hear the wind going whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! (Swing arms)
I hear the shutters going bang, bang, bang! (clap)
I hear the house going creak, creak, creak! (stomp)
I hear the rain going plop, plop, plop (pat knees)
I see the snowflakes falling down, down, down! (sprinkle fingers)
Zoom, zoom, zoom,
We’re going to the moon
Zoom, zoom, zoom,
We’re going to the moon
If you want to take a trip,
Climb aboard my rocket ship
Zoom, zoom, zoom,
We’re going to the moon
In five, four, three, two, one,
BLAST OFF!
