Sing this song with motions and encourage the children to follow along:


Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

Eyes and ears and mouth and nose

Head, shoulders, knees and toes

Knees and toes.


Go very slowly at first, pausing after naming each body part so the children can watch and copy you before you move to the next motion.
