Let's All Twirl

Sung to "The Mulberry Bush"
Let's all twirl with our scarves today. Scarves today, Scarves today.
Let's all twirl with our scarves today. All around the room.

Let's all dance with our scarves today. Scarves today. Scarves today. Let's all dance with our scarves today. All around the room.

Let's all march with our scarves today. Scarves today, Scarves today. Let's all march with our scarves today. All around the room.

Let's all run with our scarves today. Scarves today, scarves today. Let's all run with our scarves today. All around the room.

Baby Einstein - Playtime Music Box

Baby Einstein: Playtime Music Box CD - Play different songs so the children can move their scarves and body to the music. Teacher preference.

Flash Cards - I have a set of JoJo's Circus flash cards but you could make your own. I call them movement cards. You flash a movement and the children must move this movement to the music.

I put the range of books from Toddler to School Age but teachers can pick from the list depending on their audience and how they want to present their storytime.
