Sign
Language
Walk = Have
your hands in front, palms down, with fingers pointed away from the
body. Alternately swing hands down, palms facing body, and pull each
arm back to the body, in a motion like the legs walking.
Discovery
Walk
Take
a walk to your neighborhood park and encourage children to bring
home souvenirs.  To
bring souvenirs home, put a loop of masking tape around the child’s
wrist, sticky side out. Small treasures can be attached for the trip
home. Once back, examine the treasures and talk about
where or how they were found.
Remember to keep walks short so children don’t
get overly tired. Walking is good exercise, but wearing out children
results in a cranky mood and an unhappy memory of the activity. |
|  As I Was Walking
As I was walking down the street,
(march in place)
Down the street, down the street,
As I was walking down the street,
Hi, ho! Hi, ho! Hi, ho!
(clap hands and march)
Max and his mom
I chanced to meet.
(wave)
Chanced to meet, chanced to meet,
Max and his mom I chanced to meet.
Hi, ho! Hi, ho! Hi, ho!
(clap hands)
A rig-a-jig-jig and away we go,
(clapping hands, walk in circle)
Away we go, away we go,
A rig-a-jig-jig and away we go.
Hi, ho! Hi, ho! Hi, ho!
(repeat using the names of other children in your group) |
