Lyrics: Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.

And eyes and ears and mouth and nose.

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.

Lyrics: Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

And eyes and ears and mouth and nose.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

Feet, tummies, arms and chins, arms and chins

Feet, tummies, arms and chins, arms and chins

And eyes and ears and mouth and shins

Feet, tummies, arms and chins, arms and chins.

Hands, fingers, legs and lips, legs and lips.

Hands, fingers, legs and lips, legs and lips.

And eyes and ears and mouth and hips

Hands, fingers, legs and lips, legs and lips.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

And eyes and ears and mouth and nose.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

This song covers the following mathematical concepts:

• The repetition of the words in the song can help children identify patterns

• The coordination of body movements and words aids in visuospatial skills

It will be beneficial to sing the song and do the motions with your child(ren) so they can mimic your actions. Although it does not match the video, singing the alternative verse can give a larger overview of the body. Pointing to the different body parts and moving helps the children learn the names for their body parts. You can also play this video so the children have something to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZanHgPprl-0
