Shakers in Storytimes

Shake it up (rhyme)

Source:unknown

Shake it up,

Shake it up,

Shake it just like me.

Shake it fast,

Then shake it slow,

Then hold it quietly.

I Have a Little Shaker (rhyme)

Adapted from 'I Have a Little Streamer' from King County Library System, WA. 

I have a little shaker,
I wave it in the air. 
I wave it over here,
I wave it over there.
It can be a carousel,
Going round and round.
It can be a shooting star,
Falling to the ground. 
I have a little shaker,
I wave it in the air,
I wave it over here,
And I wave it over there!

Egg Shaker Song

This is a Nancy Stewart song, available as her song of the
month (April 2012). It is a free download at http://www.nancymusic.com/Eggplay.htm

A-Shake shake shake, A-Shake shake shake,
A-Shake shake shake shake - STOP!

If you have a pink egg,
shake your egg, shake your egg
If you have a pink egg shake your egg
(repeat with different colors)
Everybody shake your egg.
Shake, shake, shake your egg
Everybody shake your egg.

Shake, shake, shake your egg
Shake, shake, shake, shake,
shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake your egg, shake your egg

Shake Your Shaker
(tune:London Bridge Is Falling Down)
Shake your shaker along with me,
Along with me, along with me,
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3,
1, 2, 3-ee.

(spoken) Shake them up high
(spoken) Shake them down low
(spoken) Shake them in the middle
(spoken) And here we go
[ Repeat from the start]
