Love this nonsensical rhyme...anythimg that get's us moving.
ReplyDeleteyes Joanne, movement is how we learn more and what the rhymes and songs on this site are all about even if they are finger rhymes we are moving and developing hand skills. thanks for commenting.
DeleteHi, I really like this rhyme and appreciate your site. don't have something to contribute to the discussion tho. Just love your passion. I was actually moved enough to drop a thought :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Abbie. I love it when people leave comments. Yes, you are right I do have passion for songs and getting kids up and moving and being active. (Some people around here think I am crazy going around singing kid's somgs)
ReplyDeleteI knew this with a different tune and game than I'm finding online. The game is a circle game, children standing. IT ("Sally") goes around behind them. On the words Boom BOOM!, IT lands on both feet in a squat. The child whom IT is behind becomes the new Sally. Tune: 4414-68---- 4414-68---- 4414-68-64-- 8-86-54-----
