These penguin themed movement books focus on imitation skills, following directions, gross motor movements and really help students get their "wiggles" out.
The first book, "The Penguin Pokey," is a penguin themed version of a childhood classic.
Sample text:
"You put your right flipper in. You put your right flipper out.
You put your right flipper in--and you shake it all about.
You do the penguin pokey and you waddle all around--
That's what it's all about!"
In this song, students learn parts of the penguin, imitation skills and really get their bodies moving and shaking! :)
The second book, "Head, Flippers, Belly, Feet," is also a penguin themed version of a childhood classic.
Sample text:
"Head, flippers, belly, feet--
Belly, feet!
Head, flippers, belly, feet--
Belly feet!
Let's all waddle to the beat!
Head, flippers, belly feet--
Belly feet!
Both of these books come with accompanying puppets that can be used for prompting students, instead of using the books.
