Instructions
1. Sing the following song with the children and do the actions. This is a great
transition for circle or group time or for rainy days.
Bored? No Way!
There's just no way for us to be bored
There's so much we can do,
Like jumping jacks and turning around
And falling to the ground.
We can jump up high and reach for the sky
But sometimes that won't do.
So around the yard we run, run, run
Having lots of fun.
2. Ask the children to suggest additional movements, or mime motions, such as
painting pictures, blowing bubbles, sweeping the floor, building with blocks,
and so on.
