One song, many ways:

• Can you chant this LOUD? Can you chant this softly? Can you do this fast? Can you do this slowly?
• Can you use your entire body to make these movements? Can you use only your pinky fingers?
• A wonderful chat to regain attention or re-engage children during a group time.

Lyrics:

Rolly polly rolly polly up, up, up!

Rolly polly rolly polly down, down, down!

Rolly polly rolly polly out, out out,

Rolly polly rolly polly in, in, in!

Rolly polly rolly polly give a little CLAP!

Rolly polly rolly polly lay them in your lap.
