Hello everyone!

I have to prepare a short performance with the children aged 5-6. I need some chants or rhymes which are followed by the action movements. Do you know any websites where I can find them? Maybe some of you know such kinds of chants?

Thank you in advance.�

A zillion years ago, when I taught privately,  I put on a parent�s night and I had puppeteers and marionettes(dressed like Pinocchio).

The puppeteers were holding the strings of their marionettes and pretending to move their hands and feet  (the marionettes had the strings  tied to their wrists and ankles . ) 

The marionettes sang the following as the puppeteers made them dance:  

I�ve got strings,

To tie me down,

To make me laugh,

To make me frown.

I don�t have my liberty,

I�ve got strings on me.     

Then someone cut the strings:  and they sang and danced.

                        I�ve got no strings,

To tie me down,

To make me laugh,

To make me frown.

Now, I have my liberty,

There are no strings on me.
