Teach the children this fun game to practice rhyming as well as large motor skills. Face a child and hold hands. Sing the song together, matching your motions to the words of the song:


Jump, jump, jump, Jim Joe.


Shake your head, nod your head,


Tap your toe.


Around and around and around you go


(hold hands and go around in a circle).


Then you clap your hands


And you jump, Jim Joe.
