    Dance to the Crazy Beat:
    Dance in the style of the animals in the song. Turn slightly on each movement, alternat-
    ing toward the left and the right.

    Crocodile: Make arms / hands into jaws and snap, alternating toward
    the left then to the right.
    Kangaroo: Jump with a slight turn, alternating right and left.
    Monkey: Alternate swinging arms overhead with hands in fists.
    Chicken: Flap arms and turn side to side.
    Elephant: Use your arm as a trunk and swing it from side to side.
    Emu: Make your arm into a long neck and your hand into a beak.

    Looked out my window: Shade eyes with hand.


    What did I see: Hands to side in shrugging gesture.

    Whos That Dancing to the Beat?


    Allow children the opportunity to think of some different animals to sing about and
    dance like. After singing the line I looked out the window and what did I see?, point
    to a child to sing a response, choosing a different animal, e.g. a penguin dancing to the
    beat.

    Crazy Drum Beat:


    Invite a child to play a drumbeat throughout the song. Point to a different child on the
    part looked out my window and that child can take a turn on the drum.

    Play-a-Long:
    Add some instruments. Half the children dance and the other half play along on instru-
    ments. Choose a different instrument for each animal; the children with that instru-
    ment play for the corresponding verse. E.g. Elephant - drum, crocodile - claves, etc.

    Line Dance:
    Form two lines facing each other with enough room between the lines for children to
    dance down the middle.
    The groups sings to the head couple I looked out my window and what did I see?
    The head couple responds by singing a reply an elephant dancing to the beat,
    choosing whichever animal they would like.
    While the group sings the rest of the song the head couple dances down the middle
    of the line in the style of the animal they chose. Children in the lines clap and step
    from side to side.
    Everyone takes one step up and the head couple join the lines at the bottom end.

    Tuned Percussion:
    Add a walking bordun: choose a child to play along on an xylophone, alternating notes
    C and G on the beat. .
