Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (Animated Action Song)

About this video

Our goofy troll characters sing and point their way through the classic body-parts song, with the lyrics on screen. It is short, active and great for getting the wiggles out before a nap or a meal.

What your child learns

• Body parts vocabulary
• Following instructions at speed
• Early reading: lyrics shown on screen

Try this after watching

• Do the actions together, then try it faster and slower
• Leave out a word and just point instead
• Play 'touch your nose / elbow / knee' after the song

Lyrics

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

Traditional rhyme, first verse. Sing along with the video for the full version.
