Hand Jive Warm Up

by Mimi Sinclair
copyright 2010

Here's a fun, energizing hand jive for all ages. Good for older adults to increase circulation and movement patterns. Good for young children to keep fidget-y hands busy. Good for warming up before any fine motor skills activity, be it musical (drumming, playing piano or guitar) or not (handwriting, sewing, fingerplays).

Shake your hands high, up to the sky
5-6-7-8
Shake 'em down low, down down you go
5-6-7-8
Clap to the beat, make it nice and neat
5-6-7-8
Rub 'em where they meet, do you feel the heat
5-6-7-8
Now pat 'em in your lap, don't let them take a nap
5-6-7-8
