Classroom benefits: Like Seven Steps, this is another classic “get moving” song. Kids will ask for this one again and again. We use Walking Walking in our classes quite frequently when kids want to get up and MOVE. This song really ends with a bang, and kids will be a little tuckered out when it’s over. A good choice to use before a quiet time activity. We’ve added some actions (tiptoe, jump, swim, sleep) to spice up the traditional version.
Preparation: This is another easy one…just follow the actions in the song! Everybody moves in a circle. Encourage everyone to sing with a BIG VOICE.
