Head Shoulders Knees & Cone

Written By Lee Hartley

How To Play

Sing the traditional Head Shoulders Knees and Toes song, while pointing at the body part that you saying. The children follow the same actions.

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes,
Knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes,
Knees and toes.
And eyes, and ears, and mouth, and nose.
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes,
Knees and toes.

Development

Start to add new body parts like ‘belly’ or ‘back’ or ‘hip.’

Game

Make it into a game by placing a cone between two students who face each other. Sing the same song, but this time when you say ‘CONE,’ the two students try to grab the cone. The first one to do so gets one point.
