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 rub your tummy,

Well hello everybody, can you rub your tummy,

Clap, clap, clap your hands
Clap them now with me
Clap your hands, let me see
Clap your hands with me
Beep, beep, beep your nose
Touch, touch, touch your shoulders
Tap, tap, tap your knees
Shake, shake, shake your feet

Seven, eight, lay them straight:
Nine, ten, a big, fat hen!

Observations
We had a pretty good time with this storytime. “Hi, Pizza Man” got the kids guessing. I would knock on the board and they would guess what animal would be at the door.
