ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Open Shut Them Song with Action – Great for babies toddlers – extra verses!
Hello, friends! Are you ready to have some fun? Let’s use our hands to sing a happy song together!
Let’s start by opening and shutting our hands. Ready?
Open, shut them, open, shut them, give a little clap, clap, clap.
Open, shut them, open, shut them, put them in your lap. Clap, clap.
Now, let’s make our hands creep and crawl like little bugs!
Creep them, crawl them, creep them, crawl them right up to your chin.
Open wide your little mouth, but do not let them in.
Let’s walk our hands down to our toes and then reach up high!
Walk them, walk them, walk them, walk them right down to your toes, toes, toes.
Reach them, reach them to the sky, then touch them to your nose.
Time to shake and roll our hands! Are you ready?
Shake them, shake them, shake them, shake them, just like this!
Roll them, roll them, roll them, roll them, and blow a little kiss.
Let’s learn about big and small. Can you make your hands big and then small?
Big and small, big and small, big, big, big, big, small, small, small.
Big and small, big and small, big, big, big, small, small, small.
Now let’s try being loud and then quiet. Ready?
Loud and quiet, loud and quiet, loud, loud, loud, loud, quiet.
Loud, quiet.
Yay! You did an amazing job! Thanks for singing and playing with me. See you later, alligator!
Hand Shadow Puppets: Let’s use our hands to create shadow puppets on the wall! Turn off the lights and use a flashlight to make shadows. Can you make a bird, a dog, or a butterfly? Try to create different shapes and see if your friends can guess what they are. This activity helps you understand how your hands can change size and shape, just like in the “Big and Small” part of the song.
Sound Exploration: Use your hands to make different sounds. Clap them together loudly and then softly. Tap your fingers on the table like raindrops. Can you make a sound like a drum? This will help you explore the “Loud and Quiet” part of the song. Try to find other objects around you that make interesting sounds when you tap or shake them.
Nature Walk Adventure: Go on a little adventure outside and use your hands to explore nature. Can you find something big, like a tree, and something small, like a pebble? Try to creep and crawl your fingers on different surfaces like grass, sand, or a tree bark. This will help you connect with the “Creep and Crawl” and “Big and Small” activities from the song.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
