Song # 8 "Where I Am"
CD:  "Smart Songs for Kids 2"

- Hand motions -

I'm a person
Motion with your hands up and down your body.

In a space
Motion with your hands toward the ground, and move them in a tight circle motion around your feet to indicate the space you are in.

In a room
Hands at your sides with palms up. Look left and right, like you're saying, "Where am I?"

Of a place
Motion with your hands, the shape of a room... like an inverted "U".

On a road
One arm motions in a straight line on one side, front to back

Or a street
One arm motions in a straight line on opposite side, front to back

In a town
One arm motions in a large circle at one side

Or a city
One arm motions in a large circle on the opposite side

Of a state
Motion with your arms, the shape of your state

In a country
Hand on chest in "Pledge of Allegiance" style

That is great
Hand out, fingers in fist, thumb up, like you are saying, "OKAY."

On a continent
Arms straight out in front of you, and crossing over each other in a straight line, indicating a flat surface of a planet.

That is part
Thumb and index finger, indicating something small.

Of the world
Arms up and in a large circle over head

On a planet
Pointing straight up in the air, and jumping to indicate FAR.

That is Earth
Arms up and in a circle over head

In this huge
Arms flaying around you in wild circles. It's HUGE!

Universe
Continue with arms flaying around you in wild circles

That is where
Hands at your sides with palms up. Look left and right. "Where am I?

I am
Motion with your hands up and down your body.
