Have you ever done the "Hokey Pokey"? It's hokey alright but it's fun and can teach you about patterns. Using drawings, songs, and clapping games, learn to recognize patterns with your body and brain!
"Put your right foot in, put your right foot out, put your right foot in and shake it all about! Do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around, that's what it's all about!"
Let's try the whole song!
Singing this song is easy since there is a repeating pattern throughout the song! Here is a video of the Hokey Pokey song by The Learning Station. Follow along and have fun!
The person who created the song made the song repeat so everyone doing the dance would know what to do next. They made a pattern for the words.
How about "Head Shoulders Knees & Toes"? Follow along with the song from Super Simple Learning in the video below:
The words repeat in the same order.
It would! The pattern helps to know what to sing next in the song and which body parts to touch as you sing!
Share your answer with your teacher.
Patterns help us organize our world. Knowing what comes next, even in a song, makes it easier for our brain to know what to do!
