This control. For fun, you can put down a piece of removable masking stay on the line. Or, if you have a carpet with a border, that can be your line. If you are outside, take your guitar or other instrument) and play and sing as you follow a path or marked shape on a playground. Look for lines and large circles in your environment, inside and out- even chalk on the playground, or a driveway. Ask the children to come up with ideas of where they could follow a line. And of course if you don't have a line, just change the words to walk 'in' a line. Problem solved! TIP: Let children know ahead of time that there will be silence (except for ticking sound), and they are to freeze until next instructions are sung. Walk On The Line Walk on the line, come walk on the line Can you walk on the line with me Walk on the line 'til the music stops Walk on the line with me Jump on the line, come jump on the line Can you walk on the line with me Jump on the line 'til the music stops Jump on the line with me Slide on the line, come slide on the line Can you slide on the line with me Slide on the line 'til the music stops Slide on the line with me Turn around on the line, turn around on the line Turn around on the line with me Turn around on the line 'til the music stops Turn around on the line with me Dance on the line, come dance on the line dance Can you dance on the line with me Dance on the line 'til the music stops Dance on the line with me Crawl on the line, come crawl on the line Can you crawl on the line with me Crawl on the line 'til the music stops Come crawl on the line with me

your guitar or other instrument (could even be a tambourine or other rhythm instrument) and play
and sing as you follow a path or marked shape on a playground. Look for lines and large circles in
