Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Wiggle fingers
Wiggle toes
Wiggle shoulders say "Hello"

Book: Silly Little Goose! by Nancy Tafuri
A goose tries out a few odd places to make her nest before finally settling on an old straw hat.
Rhyme:
These are grandma's glasses
This is grandma's hat
This is the way she folds her hands
And lays them in her lap
Here are grandpa's glasses
And here is grandpa's hat
And here's the way he folds his arms
And takes a little nap.

Song: "Silly Hat Song" (Tune: "This Old Man")
On my head, I wear my hat.
It is such a silly hat
That my head will wiggle waggle to and fro
Where else can my silly hat go?

Flannel Board: I'm a clown, a jolly fellow
My hat is the color yellow.
When I fight fires, I protect my head
My hat is the color red.
I catch robbers, here's a clue:
My hat is the color blue.
I had rabbits in my magic hat
My hat is the color black.
I'm a chef, I cook just right
My hat is the color white.
I'm a king, my crown is old
It's a shiny shade of gold.

Goodbye Song:
Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Pat your belly
Blink your eyes
Blow a kiss and say "Goodbye"
