Roly Poly - An Action Song

Children singing

 

Infants and toddler alike are attracted to the repetition and actions of this simple song.  Plus, songs with simple lyrics and repetition support speech and language development. If you don’t know the song, you can take a moment to familiarize yourself with the song along with the simple actions before teaching it to your child. Have an infant? No problem! While holding your infants hands, sing and gently perform the actions together. 
 

Roly poly, roly poly (roll both arms around one another) 

Up, up, up (both hands move upward each time) 

Roly poly, roly poly (roll both arms around one another) 

Down, down, down (both hands move downward each time) 

In the next verses, you can change actions with: 

in/out 

slow/fast 

loud/soft 

left/right
