The Numeral March
Hint: When placing the numerals on the floor, place them is sets of two, leaving plenty of space between each set. Tell children that when they locate a matching numeral they "freeze" in their position until you say "exchange." When they hear the word "exchange" they hand their numeral to the friend who is standing beside them

You were made for motion

You were meant to move

So, turn it up a little louder

And get into the groove

Pre-Chorus: 

Do do do, do do the dragon

Do do do, do do the dragon

Do do do, do do the dragon (Aow!!)

          _________________

Chorus:

Do a little dance (twist, twist/do their own thing)

Do the dragon hop  (hop, hop)

Do a little wiggle, wiggle

And then a little dragon stomp  (stomp, stomp)

Make a little noise —

And then a little (big) dragon roar (R-O-A-R!)

You gotta get your wings and body shakin’

Aren't ya havin' fun with the moves

We're makin'? Do the dragon! Do the dragon!

Oh, oh, oh,  do the dragon!

I'M IN CONTROL

(Music: Traditional * Arranged: Ken Munshaw, Ron Hiller/RONNO * Lyrics: Judy Millar  © 1994 Song Support/SOCAN)

Chorus:

I'm in control (I'm in control)

Hey, that's my goal (Be in Control)

I'm in CONTROL of what I do (Well, how 'bout you?)

Only the LOSERS always LOSE IT!.

But I CAN CHOOSE to keep control

Well, pardon me

But I can see

That what you DID's not fair to me      

So be a BABY…

Start to yell and scream and LOSE IT!

No, I REFUSE to lose control

Chorus:

Here's how I feel

My anger's real

I have these feelings, they are mine

Well, that's just fine…

Now you'll yell, and scream, and LOSE IT??!

No, I REFUSE to lose control.

Chorus:

I use my words

Till I am heard

Yes, I speak up for what is right

But you don't fight!?

No, I don't yell, and scream, or LOSE IT!

I just REFUSE to lose control  

No I don't yell and scream or LOSE IT!

I just REFUSE to lose

I simply choose to keep

I just refuse to lose control!

I'm in control . . . (repeat)

And I can chose to keep control!

HEART, SMART, MUSICAL ART

(Ron Hiller/RONNO   © 2007 Song Support/SOCAN)

I want to help my heart

Keep it healthy and strong

That's why I walk, run - skippin's fun!

When I move I can't go wrong

Now, here's a big surprise:

Movin' keeps me smart

So come on dance to the steady beat

Move your feet to musical art

Chorus:

Heart, smart, musical art

So important to me

Heart, smart, musical art

And movin' is the key!

I sure do like to move 

It makes me feel so fine

Yeah, it helps me look good, feel great

And have a real cool time

And moving helps me think!

I know it's good for my brain

And so I jump, spin, march

To this little refrain   (Here we go again)

Repeat Chorus 

Heart, smart, musical art  (3x)

Oh, and by the way…

I really like to sing

To dance and play guitar

Movin' up, down, all around

Someday I may go far!

One thing I know for sure

Yeah, this much I can say

I'm gonna stay fit, always groovin'

Movin' every day

Repeat Chorus

Heart, smart, musical art (4x)

THE DOLPHIN PROMISE (Lyrics)

 (Ron Hiller/RONNO, Judy Millar  © 2007 Song Support/SOCAN)

This song is a farewell for the freshwater

Dolphin known as Baiji. They once thrived

in a river in China, but sadly, they now seem to be extinct.

Rare river dolphin

Swimming no more

Beautiful Baiji

We miss you so

Other great creatures

May perish too

We will protect them

We promise you

Chorus:

They may soar through the air

Or swim in the sea

Graze in the grasslands

With their own families

They may run like the wind

Or climb tallest trees

They deserve to live happily

Just like you, and like me

Endangered species

We understand

You need clean water

You need good land

You have no voices

What can you do?

We will speak for you

We promise you

Chorus:

If you soar through the air

Or swim in the sea

Graze in the grasslands

With your own family

If you run like the wind

Or climb tallest trees -

My heart beats for you

As it beats inside me

I CAN CARE  (Ron Hiller, Judy Millar   © 1994 Song Support/SOCAN)

Tick - Tock, telling us it's time

 (time)

Soon the morning bell will chime

 (chime)

Tick - Tock, telling us that now

 (right now)

We must build a better world

Here's how:

With the beating of a brand new heart

This is how love starts

Chorus:

I can care

I can feel

This is how I know I'm real

I can care

So can you

We make miracles come true

When we care

Tick - Tock, telling me to take a stand

 (tick)

Build tomorrow by a better plan

 (tock)

Tick - Tock, telling me it's time to try

 (Let's try)

Time to sing the world a lullaby

It takes love to make a world go 'round

 (and round)

This is how love sounds:

Repeat Chorus  (Omitting last line)

I can care, do my part

From the bottom of my heart

I can care

So can you

We make miracles come true

When we care

Let's build a better world!

We can build a better world

When we care….
