Song of the week...
Hands on Shoulders
A good action (and listening) song ;D
Hands on Shoulders
Hands on knees 
Hands behind you,
if you please!
Touch your shoulders
now your nose
Now your hair and now your toes
Hands up high in the air
Down at your sides and touch your hair
Hands up high as before
Now clap your hands, 1, 2, 3, 4!
