This is Big

This is big, big, big. (Stretch hands far to side)

This is small, small, small. (Cup hands together over lap)
This is short, short, short. (Hold palms horizontally, close)
This is tall, tall, tall. (Hold palms horizontally, far apart)
This is fast, fast, fast. (roll hands quickly)
This is slow, slow, slow. (roll hands slowly)
This is yes, yes, yes. (nod)
This is no, no, no! (shake head)

 
Clap, Clap, Clap Your Hands
Clap, clap, clap your hands, as slowly as you can (Suit actions to words)
Clap, clap, clap your hands as quickly as you can

Song:
The Grand Old Duke of York

Oh, the grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
and Marched them down again
And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down
And when you're only half way up
You're neither up nor down



Craft:

I found a Gumball machine coloring picture online here.  After printing it out, I then used whiteout on the gumballs.  Then I copied them.  Glue, crayons, and construction paper. Volia! Craft for today.
