Well Hello Everybody, Can You Touch Your Nose
Well hello everybody, can you touch your nose,
Touch your nose, touch your nose?
Well hello everybody, can you touch your nose,

Well hello everybody can you touch your toes,

Well hello everybody, can you touch your toes,

Well hello everybody, can you rub your tummy,

Well hello everybody, can you rub your tummy,

Observations
The kids were pretty antsy given the nice weather. The parents got a kick out of Everyone Loves Bacon. The biggest hit with the kids was the “Toast in the Toaster.” We only had a handful of kids, so I was able to lift all the kids in the air for the pop (with the parent’s permission of course).
