Large clock (or paper plate clock with adjustable hands)
Toothbrushes made out of cardstock
Woodblocks, tick-tock blocks, and tone blocks with mallets
Instructions
Join in by singing the "ch" sounds while pretending to brush your teeth back and forth with your pointer finger. Please keep your finger dry!
Distribute large toothbrushes made out of cardstock. Color with crayons. Sing the song again and use your toothbrush on the "ch" parts.
Show the hours on the analog clock.
What do we do at quarter to one/two/three/four/five? brush your teeth
Sing the song. Hold up your finger at each number. Choose five helpers to hold up large numbers 1-5 to help with the song. Brush your teeth at every "ch."
Add some motions to the rest of the song.
And you want to have a little fun: create a burst with your hands, like throwing confetti
And you want to find something to do: put your hand above your eyes to search
And your mind starts humming twiddle de dee: sway your head back and forth
And you think you hear a knock on your door: knock on the floor or your chair
And you just can't wait to come alive: stretch your arms above your head as far as you can
Can you keep a steady beat like a clock? Let's pat our lap like the ticking of a clock.
Introduce the woodblocks, tick-tock blocks and toneblocks. Show how to play them with the mallet. Challenge: try to find the "sweet spot" of the instrument where the sound is the best! Now try keeping the steady beat like a clock throughout the entire song!
Perform with large toothbrush props, large clock with moveable hands, large numbers 1-5, woodblocks, tick-tock blocks, and tone blocks.
