*  When  children  listen  to  music  and  words—while  following  directions—  many  parts  of  their  brains  are  firing  at  the  same  time.  If  children  sing  as  they  move,  they  are  using  additional  brain  neurons.  Creative  movement  activities,  therefore,  are  excellent  experiences  to  promote  brain  growth.  {Southern  Early  Childhood  Association,  Dimension,  Fall  2005,  Vol.  33,  #3}        

EAR SCAT {Scat means to make your voice sound

like an instrument!}*

Do your ears hang low Do they wobble to and fro

Can you tie them in a knot Can you tie them in a bow

Scat Do your ears hang low

Do your ears hang high Do the reach up to the sky

Do they wrinkle when they’re wet Do they straighten when they dry

Scat Do your ears hang high

Do your ears hang wide

Do they flip from side to side Do they wave in the breeze

From the slightest little sneeze Scat

Do your ears hang wide
