Who
Stole My Chickens and My Eggs?
(I've also seen this song as "Who Stole My Chickens And My Hens?".)
Actions:
1st time: Cross your arms, look grumpy and at the end of every line, stomp your foot twice
2nd time: Find a partner. Each person makes a "beak" with their right hand and a "bowl" with their left. Feed your "beak" in your partner's "bowl", then bring your "beak" to your mouth. Then switch hands - make a "beak" with your left hand and a "bowl" with your right, and repeat the action. You do two complete sets of actions (i.e. make four "beaks", two with each hand) during the first line of the song.
3rd time: With a partner, repeat the following clapping game throughout the song:
- Cross-clap with partner (your left hand faces up, right hand faces down, hands held parallel to ground);
- Clap with partner (clap their left hand with your right while simultaneously clapping your right hand with their left, hands perpendicular to ground);
- Clap your own hands;
- Repeat.
You do about 3 1/2 sets of actions for each line. If you've followed the clapping properly, you can then close the end of the verse with two straight claps of your own hands.
