Poem: I Use My Brain
I use my brain to think, think, think (touch head)
I use my nose to smell (touch nose)
I use my eyes to blink, blink, blink (touch eyes)
I use my throat to yell (touch throat and yell on word “yell”)
I use my mouth to giggle, giggle, giggle (touch mouth)
I use my hips to bump (touch hips)
I use my toes to wiggle, wiggle, wiggle (touch toes)
And I use my legs to jump. (jump)

• Jesus Loves the Little Children Story idea:
Preschool to Pre-K

• Place 3 magnetic letters or numbers on the table. Let your child look at them and say the names of each and then close their eyes. Remove one. Have your child figure out which letter or number is missing.
