Shaker Song

Ingrid Christina shares their original “Shaker Song” for body part identification.

I’ve got a shaker in my *hand

I’ve got a shaker in my hand

Gonna shake it so well

Gonna shake it somewhere else

Where else shall I shake it on myself?

*Head/Nose/Elbow/Knee/Foot/Anywhere the kids call out!

I’ve got a shaker on my *nose

I’ve got a shaker on my nose

Gonna shake it so well

And that’s how I shake it on myself!

Vocabulary, phonological awareness, rhythm of language, body part identification, craft, make a shaker at home.
