Shimmy Shake

movement, action poem for young children - with an new ending

Should you giggle when you wiggle?

Could you take a chance and prance?

Do you stop and try to limbo

When you're on your way to dance?

Would you jump to touch the ceiling

but you haven't had the chance?


Shimmy, shimmy, don't be shy.

Shake it, shake it, you won't break.

Snap your fingers, find the beat,

Clap and boogy, slide and skate.

Jump and skip, now sumersault,

Have some fun, let's celebrate.
