Hi, I just read the article in Family Fun and wanted to send you a song I clapped to when I was young called Big Mac - Sharla

Big Mac
Filet o fish
Quarterpounder, french fries
Icy coke, thick shakes
sundaes and apple pies
You deserve a break today
at McDonalds and the
dish ran away with the spoon.

Thanks Sharla! We are looking for the hand movements to go along with this for everyone to see!
keep them coming!



Fantastic one sent in by Nicki... "We used to do this on the playground all the time" For this one you don't clap with anyone but everyone does the same hand motions all together in the air with your finger while singing the song

Come little Bunny
In a cabin by the woods
(draw a square in the air with your fingers)
A little old man by the window stood
(make circles, like binoculars, with your hands and put up to your eyes)
Saw a rabbit hopping by
(two fingers walking in front of you in the air)
Knocking at his door
(do a knocking motion with one hand)
"Help me! Help me! Help!" he cried
(fling your hands in the air three times)
For the hunter shoot me down
( point an imaginary gun with both hands and move side to side)
Come Little rabbit come inside
(hand motion inviting someone to come to you)
Safely you may hide or Happy you will be
(rock your arms like you're rocking a baby)

Now here is the fun part: You keep repeating the song, but at each line, you just hum the tune and do the hand motions. So the second time you sing the song, you don't say "In a cabin by the woods", you just hum it and make the hand gesture. The third time, you leave out both 1st and 2nd lines (humming only) do just the hand gesture, sing the rest. You keep going until there are no words, just humming and gestures and that's how it ends.
Love it thanks Nicki we've added it to our list.
