I don't write enough poems for young children, especially now I have such a ball working with them in Nursery. Hopefully, this action poem for kids will get them whirring and stirring.
Thank you to Love2Read with Miss Ellis for choosing it as Poem of the Week on her brilliant YouTube Channel. You must check it out!
Now everyone on your feet and get ready to stir!
Stirring Custard With Your Toes
Oh No! Oh No! The chef is grumpy Her custard’s thick And very lumpy
Oh No! Oh No! She’s lost her spoon It’s time for lunch It’s nearly noon
Stand Up! Stand Up! Let’s stir those lumps Let whisk away Those custard bumps
Let’s stir the custard With our toes Round and round The custard goes
Let’s stir the custard With our chins Round and round The custard spins
|
Let’s stir the custard With our lips Round and round The custard whips
Let’s stir the custard With our nose Round and round The custard goes
Hooray! Hooray! The lumps are gone And stirring it Was so much fun
The custard’s smooth The custard’s yummy It’s time to pour it In our tummy
Let’s lick the bowl With one big slurp And when it’s gone Do one big burp!
