5 Energetic Songs to Get Kids Moving

Given how cold January is, we spend a lot of time indoors. Even more reason to play games with our kids to keep them active and mentally stimulated.


We all have fond memories of the many timeless dance and action songs that were created for young children; like Itsy Bitsy Spider and I’m a Little Teapot.


These action-packed songs will get your children moving. Lots of fun here!


1. If You're Happy and You Know It

Lyrics:

If You’re Happy and You Know It

If you’re happy and you know it

Clap your hands

If you’re happy and you know it

Clap your hands

If you’re happy and you know it

And you really want to show it

If you’re happy and you know it

Clap your hands

Repeat with:

If you’re happy and you know it stomp your feet, shout ‘hurray’, pat your cheeks and do all four


2. Run Baby Run


3. Shake Your Sillies Out

Lyrics:

Gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out

Shake, shake, shake my sillies out

Shake, shake, shake my sillies out

And wiggle my waggles away

(shake body for entire verse)

I gotta clap, clap, clap my crazies out

Clap, clap, clap my crazies out

Clap, clap, clap my crazies out

And wiggle my waggles away

(clap through entire verse)

I gotta jump, jump, jump my jiggles out

Jump, jump, jump my jiggles out

Jump, jump, jump my jiggles out

And wiggle my waggles away

(jump through entire verse)

I gotta yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out

Yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out

Yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out

And wiggle my waggles away

(yawn through entire verse)


4.The Stomp Clap Dance Song


5. Going on a Bear Hunt

Lyrics:

We're going on a bear hunt

We're going on a bear hunt

I've got my binoculars

I've got my binoculars

I'm not scared

I'm not scared


Oh, Look at that tall wavy grass

It's so tall

Can't go over it

Can't go over it

Can't go under it

Can't go under it

Just going to have to go through it

Just going to have to go through it

swish swish swish

swish swish swish


We're going on a bear hunt

We're going on a bear hunt

I've got my binoculars

I've got my binoculars

I'm not scared

I'm not scared


Uh oh, there's a big river

Can't go over it

Can't go over it

Can't go under it

Can't go under it

Going to have to swim it

Going to have to swim it

splash splash splash

splash splash splash

We're going on a bear hunt

We're going on a bear hunt
