I spontaneously came up with this song at a Maker workshop I recently did with a large group of kids. They finished their shakers, wanted to use them! It turned out to be great motivation, and I have since used the song with many children from two and up. They love shaking and freezing, and don't want it to stop (hence the five verses and relentless repetition). They also love to be standing and dancing. It makes the freezing all that much more fun. Obviously you can modify the movement and length of the song to fit your group, but try different things! Here are the instructions for the simple shakers we made.
