With Happy Hearts We Dance and Sing

Let's Start with the Barn Yard Boogie in Kathie Bridges' Kindergarten

I know a rooster down
on the farm…

Barn Yard Boogie is from Teaching Peace CD by Red Grammer.

On same CD:
See Me Beautiful
I Think you're wonderful

Children cross the midline with alternating straight arms from right to left. (Then boogie and do the modified Macarena.) www.redgrammer.com
