Shake Your Legs and Stop!

Song of the Month · 2012

This song was a classic example of necessity being the 'mother of invention!' I was doing a classroom visit with an especially wiggly and unfocused group of children. This song spontaneously came out of my mouth ( I imagine there was some desperation involved) and it worked magic! It has become an opening song for circle time, and works every time. Sometimes the simplest things works best, and this is one of those things. I highly recommend it for use with 2-5 year-olds!
