Subject: RE: Pre Schoolers' music
Oh, I've got a four year old grandson who has kept me challenged in finding fun songs since he was a baby. Now, I go to his preschool and do much you do. One big hit the kids keep asking for, over and over, is Toe-Knee-Chest-Nut. The actions are, as you sing "Tony Chestnut Knows I Love you," touch each body part as you name it, i.e. toes, then knees, the chest, then head (for nut), then nose, then eyes, then do the sign language for "love you" which is hands in fists arms crossed over your chest, then point at the children.

There's one he used to do with his teacher at another school which we just called the drive-drive-drive song "driving in my car, I'm a movie star, driving in my car, avroom, vroom, vroom!". They sat on the floor pretending to drive while the teacher named off the things a "Hollywood star" would have and they would pretend to put on, or sometimes had the hats, etc. to use. Items included a hat, scarf, sunglasses, yapping poodle, and turning the radio on. I'll see if I can find it for you.

You also can't go wrong in checking in at KIDiddles.
