Action rhymes are so much fun! They get preschoolers up and moving. Not only do kids love rhymes, but action rhymes help them with their coordination and body movements. I’m a Little Teapot by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley is a preschool classic! It’s a cute little poem and fun to act out.
I’m a Little Teapot
I’m a little teapot short and stout.
(put legs together and slightly bend knees)
Here is my handle.
(left hand on hip)
Here is my spout.
(right arm out; bend at elbow)
When I get all steamed up,
Hear me shout,
“Tip me over and pour me out.”
(lean right)
