Use a full-length mirror and have a height chart next to it. Have the children stand in front of the mirror one at a time. Recite the chant:


Mirror, mirror on the wall,

look at Jackson. He's this tall!


Point so the child can see how tall he/she is in the mirror. Transfer this to the height chart so the children can compare how tall they are.
