I can hear a whisper I can hear a shout I can keep still Or I can run about. I can see my nose tip I can see a star I can go to the moon Or drive a car. I can stroke a cat’s fur And clap my hands in glee I have a wonderful body And it belongs to me. I can sit still on my bottom And I can dance around I can close my eyes to sleep And not make a sound. I can curl in a ball Reach my fingers to the sky I can talk and sing and laugh And wiggle my toes up high. I can smell a lovely flower And sniff what’s cooking for tea I have a wonderful body And it belongs to me! Can you think of actions for the poem ? Your teacher might want to make it into a song. See if you can help
