Elise and I are practicing a lot of action songs now. So far she knows the actions to nursery rhymes like Twinkle, Twinkle, My Toes, Itsy-Bitsy Spider and Ten Little Indians and now learning I Have Two Hands.
Help! Help! Help! I need suggestions for more action songs. Medyo nauubusan na ako eh, ahahaha! 
Thanks y’all and hope to hear from you soon!

you can include “head and shoulders knees and toes” too. this is the most fun time when they’re learning to do the action songs. when they do, there’s some kind of pride we moms feel.

Aiza, try to buy audio CDs but be careful to choose the songs there. There are also DVDs like Barney (choose those with Nursery rhymes) and other DVDs with children doing the action while they are singing (sort of). I don’t know if there are still those books with audio (used to be book + audio tape with my elder daughter).
There are lots of choose from and you don’t have to sing A cappella just sing with the music and do the actions
Hope I was able to help a bit. Enjoy your shopping!
Aiza: Oo nga, good idea. I might shop around for DVDs for the little girl and nursery rhymes is on top of my list. Thanks!

Sometimes, the best actions are the ones you make up yourselves.
Here’s more: Where is thumb man? (sung to Frere Jacques or are you sleeping), i want to eat apples and bananas, she’ll be coming round the mountain, pop goes the weasel, pat-a-cake
Aiza: Yeah, I remember those! Thanks
