One song, many ways:

• Improvise with the children: "where would you like to keep the beat next? What rhymes with 'hips'?" leave room for the children to think of places on their body where they can demonstrate a steady beat.

Lyrics

Ants like honey, ants like bread, keep the beat upon your head.

Ants like honey, ants like cheese, keep the beat upon your knees.

Ants like honey... meat.... feet.

Ants like honey... honey... tummy.
