Herman the Worm - Action Song 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-rg7EIt1x4 

 I was sittin’ on a fencepost slapping on my left knee, chewing on my bubble gum (chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp) (make chewing action) 

Playing with my yo-yo (do op, do op,
do op do op) (make yo yo action) 

And watching the birds fly by (make bird flapping action)  

And then along came Herman the Worm and he was this big  

(hold fingers up to show about an inch) 

I asked, “Herman, what happened?” (make shrugging action) 

And he said, “I swallowed one grape”. (make swallowing action) 

**repeat verse and change out the food items by asking for suggestions from your child.
