Shake Our Sillies Out

I like doing this one at the beginning of storytimes because it's a great attention grabber, gets everyone energized, but ends on a calmer note (the verses I use are listed below). As far as I can tell, it was made popular by The Wiggles, but I've come across the lyrics in other books as well.

Lyrics
Shake, shake, shake your sillies out Shake, shake, shake your sillies out Shake, shake, shake your sillies out And wiggle your waggles away

Clap, clap, clap your crazies out Clap, clap, clap your crazies out Clap, clap, clap your crazies out And wiggle your waggles away

Bounce, bounce, bounce your bouncies out (This was changed from "Jump your jitters out," so my kids didn't have to stand up - their space was extremely restricted!) Bounce, bounce, bounce your bouncies out Bounce, bounce, bounce your bouncies out And wiggle your waggles away

Stretch, stretch, stretch your sleepies out Stretch, stretch, stretch your sleepies out Stretch, stretch, stretch your sleepies out And wiggle your waggles away
