Ever think about doing a fun, fast-paced, camp song with your kids? Here's one that we sing at the library storytime programs.
It's called, "My name is Joe."
First start out by waving your hand, "Hi! My name is Joe, and I work in a button factory. I've got a wife and some kids and a family. One day, my boss said, 'Hey, Joe. Push that button with your right hand." And this ensues. Begin pushing an imaginary button with your right hand. Continue pushing.
And then, "Hi, my name is Joe. And I work in a button factory. I've got a wife and some kids and a family. One day, my boss said, 'Hey, Joe. Push that button with your left hand." Now you are pushing two buttons, one with your right hand, and one with your left hand. Continue pushing and repeat the phrase. You then can push buttons with the following:
right foot,
left foot,
right hip,
left hip,
head,
and then, "Hi, my name is Joe," while flailing, pushing all those buttons, "And I work in a button factory. One day, my boss said, 'Hey, Joe,' and I said, 'NO!!!!!!'"
Really yell out that last 'NO!' as if you absolutely do NOT want to push any more buttons for this boss! This is so much fun and the kids really love it. Try it yourself and see!
Cheers!
