Welcome to Windsong's little corner of sharing...!
We're celebrating pumpkins... first with little mice puppets in pumpkin houses, and now with trips to the pumpkin patch. It is this latest verse I will share, and the children can give you the gestures..
(This is started with a clap to the hands and a 'clap' to the thighs repeatedly to set the rhythm.)
"[child's name] went down to the pumpkin patch, to find a pumpkin sooo small,
But the one s/he found, was big, ..and round... So s/he rolled it like a ball:
Roley, poley. Roley, poley. S/he rolled it round and round.
Roley, poley. Roley, poley. Up hill, and down."
This is so very rhythmic and full of great gestures and potential big movement. A favorite, to be sure...
It is fun to roll the children up like a burrito in a little blanket and really roll them about for the roley poley part...great for their little bodies and so much fun!!
