The Body Rap (View Mix CD by clicking under description.)
This is another great energy releasing song that requires kids to pay attention and move in specific ways as denoted by Margie's rap lyrics.
(Sounds like something Blondie in the 80s would rap!)
This song asks kids to first clap, then stamp and clap, then hum and stamp and clap - some would call it sequencing or backwards chaining. But whatever it is - it's designed to elicit attention and participation in a controlled physical manner. Oh, yea and it's fun.
