Opening Action RhymeCan You Nod Your Head? (with puppets)
From Nancy Stewart; see nancymusic.com .
Can you nod your head like kitty cat
Can you nod, nod, nod your head
Can you wag your tail like kitty cat, wag your tail
Can you wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like kitty cat,
Can you wiggle wiggle, wiggle all around
Can you stand up just like kitty cat, and then fall down!

Finger RhymeWhere Is Big Cat (Tune: Where is Thumbkin)
Before starting I introduce the kids to Big Cat (my thumbs) and Little Cat (my pinkies). The cats give a little meow and the kids show me their Big Cat and Little Cat. Where is big cat, where is big cat (hide thumbs)
Here I am, here I am (bring thumbs out)
How are you today cat (wiggle one thumb)
Very well I thank you (wiggle other thumb)
Meow, meow, meow (put thumbs behind back)
Meow, meow, meow
