Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun and dance with me? We’re going to do the Tooty-Ta dance! It’s a silly and exciting dance where we move our bodies in different ways. Let’s get started!
First, we put our thumbs up high in the air. Can you do that? Great job! Now let’s say it together:
A tooty-ta, a tooty-ta, a tooty-ta-ta
Thumbs up!
Now, let’s add something new. Put your elbows back like a chicken. Let’s do it together:
A tooty-ta, a tooty-ta, a tooty-ta-ta
Thumbs up!
Elbows back!
Next, let’s move our feet apart. Stand with your feet wide. Ready? Here we go:
A tooty-ta, a tooty-ta, a tooty-ta-ta
Thumbs up!
Elbows back!
Feet apart!
Now, let’s bring our knees together. It’s getting funny! Let’s try it:
A tooty-ta, a tooty-ta, a tooty-ta-ta

Time to put our bottoms up! Can you do it? Let’s go:
A tooty-ta, a tooty-ta, a tooty-ta-ta

Finally, let’s turn around in a circle. Spin, spin, spin! Here we go:
A tooty-ta, a tooty-ta, a tooty-ta-ta
Thumbs up!
Elbows back!
Feet apart!
Knees together!
Bottoms up!

Turn around!
Wow! You did an amazing job with the Tooty-Ta dance! It’s so much fun to move our bodies and be silly. You can try this dance anytime you want to have fun and get moving. Keep dancing and smiling!
Create Your Own Dance Moves: Now that you’ve learned the Tooty-Ta dance, it’s time to get creative! Think of two new moves you can add to the dance. Maybe you can hop on one foot or wiggle your fingers. Try your new moves with the Tooty-Ta song and show them to a friend or family member. Can they come up with their own moves too?
Dance and Draw: After doing the Tooty-Ta dance, grab some paper and crayons. Draw a picture of yourself doing the dance. What do you look like with your thumbs up or your tongue out? Share your drawing with the class and talk about which part of the dance was your favorite.
Observation Walk: Go on a short walk around your classroom or playground. Look for things that remind you of the Tooty-Ta dance moves. Can you find something that looks like “thumbs up” or “elbows back”? Share what you find with your classmates and see if they can spot the same things.
