Shaker Song

Ms. Christina shares her original Shaker Song. The tune is from the traditional Brazilian children’s song, O sapo não lava o pé.

I’ve got a shaker in my *hand

I’ve got a shaker in my hand

Gonna shake it so well

Gonna shake it somewhere else

Where else shall I shake it on myself?

*Head/Nose/Elbow/Knee/Foot/Anywhere the kids call out!

I’ve got a shaker on my *foot

I’ve got a shaker on my foot

Gonna shake it so well

And that’s how I shake it on myself!

Vocabulary, phonological awareness, rhythm of language, body part identification, craft, make a shaker at home.

Lyrics by Ms. Christina. Classic tune.
