Stretchy Band Movement and Song Activity

Stretchy Band Movement and Song Activity

I’m always looking for new movement and song ideas to go with our stretchy band and connect-a-stretchy band.  This song came to mind, and after a little fine tuning from my big sister, here it is!

If You're Happy and You Know It

Sung to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It”

While the stretchy band goes ‘round, march your feet.  (march in circle)

While the stretchy band goes ‘round, march your feet

In your hands the rainbow colors, really make you smile.

While the stretchy band goes ‘round, march your feet.

(Other movement suggestions: gallop, skip, walk, jump)

When the stretchy band goes up, make a yawn.  (Lift stretchy band high)

When the stretchy band goes up, make a yawn.

In your hands the rainbow colors, really make you smile.

When the stretchy band goes up, make a yawn.

(Other movement suggestions: shout hooray, lift your leg, wiggle your shoulders, shake your head, do a dance)

  1. Hi,

    I’m writing you from Belgium…
    My mothertongue is French and we’ve got that song in French too…
    (Si tu as de la joie au coeur, claque des doigts… etc…).
    I like your new version, sounds great!
    Thanks for this, and your newsletter, which I always enjoy…
    Have a nice day,
