1. Horsey Horsey. For this one either scoop up your little one and clip-clop around the room or pretend to be a horse and trot around. Swish your pretend tail, roll your hands, and don’t forget to freeze on the word “stop.”
Horsey horsey don’t you stop
Just let your feet go clippity clop
Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round
Giddyup we’re homeward bound
We’re not in a hustle, we’re not in a bustle
Don’t go tearing up the road
We’re not in a hurry, we’re not in a flurry
And we don’t have a very heavy load
2. Jeux d’enfants, op. 22, 12. “Le Bal” by french composer Bizet
Grab a ball to play with while you listen to this fast-paced movement from Bizet’s fun set of Children’s Games music.
See if you can keep the ball moving for the whole movement.
