Lyrics
Thumbkin can dance, thumbkin can sing (2)
they all go merrily up together, they all go merrily down (2)
they all clap hands (2)
Pointer can dance, pointer can sing (2)
they all go merrily up together, they all go merrily down (2)
they all clap hands (2)
Tall man can dance, tall man can sing (2)
they all go merrily up together, they all go merrily down (2)
they all clap hands (2)
But....
Ringman can't dance, ringman can't sing (2)
they can't go merrily up together, they can't go merrily down (2)
they can't clap hands, they can't clap hands.
But....
Baby can dance, baby can sing (2)
they all go merrily up together, they all go merrily down (2)
they all clap hands (2)
Family can dance, family can sing (2)
they all go merrily up together, they all go merrily down (2)
they all clap hands (2)
Activity
You can place words from the above rhyme far away at a distance. Divide the children into small groups. Children from each group have to run to the board where the words are kept, they have to read them, remember them then run back to the group and name the word they saw. One child in the group writes down the word on the paper. All children take turns till all the words are written or you can also keep it time bound. This way the students focus on team building and can also recollect different words and enhance their vocabulary.
