3. JUMP UP (Jump & Spin)
Benefits: These easy-to-follow movements with fun music help children improve concentration, focus, coordination, and balance. They’ll also have fun with the rhyming words in each verse, which help foster language development. Turning the body by moving in a circle (i.e., spinning movement) helps with spatial organization. Changing direction provides novelty to the brain. (The brain loves novelty; it is an important component in fostering creativity.)

NOTE: We recommend telling the children to be moving from side to side and clapping to the beat during the musical interludes. During the pre-chorus, when RONNO and vocalists are saying/shouting, "But if you want to go to sleep, well…Hey, no way!" etc., children can be mimicking the actions suggested by the lyrics, e.g., heads resting (sleeping) on hands, as well as wagging fingers (while shouting?) on “Hey, no way!” etc. In other words, kids should always be moving during this routine.

Lyrics

JUMP UP
(Music: Ron Hiller/RONNO * Lyrics: Ron Hiller/RONNO, Judy Millar, Liz Jones-Twomey – © 2013 Song Support/SOCAN)

You… can… scratch your nose (It’s alright!)
You can touch your toes (It’s alright!)
You can draw some O’s (It’s alright!)
It’s alright with me

You can bounce a ball (It’s alright!)
You can paint a wall (It’s alright!)
You can curl up small (It’s alright!)
It’s alright with me

But if you want to go to sleep, well….
Hey, no way!
Now, what‘d you say?
We say, “hey, no way!
If you want to go to sleep, well….
No way!
’Cause here’s what we’re going to do:

CHORUS:
We’ll jump up, down, spin ourselves around
Get ready, let’s go!
We’ll jump up, down, spin ourselves around
You’re part of the show
(Keep movin’! Always Movin’!)

You can shake your wrists (It’s alright!)
You can do the twist (It’s alright!)
You can walk like this (It’s alright!)
It’s alright with me

You can jump up high (It’s alright!)
You can start to fly (It’s alright!)
You can touch the sky (It’s alright!)
It’s alright with me

But if you want to go to sleep, well….
Hey, no way!
Now, what‘d you say?!
We say, “Hey, no way!
If you want to go to sleep, well….
No way!
’Cause here’s what we’re going to do:

CHORUSES:
We’ll jump up, down, spin ourselves around
Get ready, let’s go!
We’ll jump up, down, spin ourselves around
You’re part of the show

We’ll jump up, down, spin ourselves around
Are you ready? Let’s go!
We’ll jump up, down, spin ourselves around
You’re part of the show

We’re gonna jump up, down, spin ourselves around
Are you ready?! Let’s go, go!
We’ll jump up, down, spin ourselves around
You’re part of the show!
(Up! Down! Whew!)
