Body Globe Song - Elementary Level

Here is a song that I created to offer musical and kinesthetic components to learning the continents as taught in American schools.

Body Globe Song
by Ruth Johnston
Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

North Pole, Equator, South Pole, Atlantic
(Point to head, then waist, then toes, wave arms in front of body)

Europe, Asia, Africa
(Left arm 90 up degrees, extend arm making a large circle, then make a large circle below Europe)

North and South America
(Right arm up 90 degrees, arm down 90 degrees)

Pacific Ocean and Australia
(Right arm reaches back in waves, then circle down and behind your body

Don’t forget Antarctica
(Point to below knees near toes)

Body globes are terrific-ah!
