Put Your Hands Together and Clap

Put your hands together and clap.
Can you bow or curtsey, like that?
Can you blink your eyes,
wave you hand goodbye?
Can you put your hands together and clap?

Can you snore like you do in bed?
Can you put your hands on your head?
Can you jump in place,
put a smile on your face?
Can you put your hands together and clap?

Can you flap your arms like a bird?
Can you laugh loud, so your heard?
Can you spin around,
jump up and down?
Can you put your hands together and clap?

Can you show me where your ears are?
Can you make a noise like a car?
Can you touch your toes,
wiggle your nose?
Can you put your hands together and clap?

Paula, I put my hands together and clapped during and after reading this poem. A very fun and imaginative write that I am sure would be loved by the kiddies. Participatory reading is a fun way to learn, teach and enjoy with the kiddies. Thank you for entering this piece in my contest.
