One Potato Two Potato

A great song for:

  • Preparing 6/8 time!
  • Practising beat.
  • Working with gross motor movements.

If you are wanting to use some new movements, you can have students lie on their backs and use their feet instead of their fists for building up the potatoes!

Another option is to have students work in pairs and students alternate putting their hands in. (I.e. first student puts a fist down, then the second student and so on.)
