We’re going for a walk.

Out the door and

Down the Steps.

We’re going for a walk.

Which way, ________?

That way? This way?

Here we go!

We’re going for a walk.

We’re sliding in the sand.

Swish, swish.

We’re sliding in the sand.

We’re climbing on the curb.

Left, right,

Left, right. Whoa!

We’re climbing on the curb.

Steps:

1. Take a child for a walk near home. Look and listen for interesting things. Use "The Farmer in the Dell" to make up a song about your expedition with

the chorus. "We're going for a Walk. We're going for a walk. Yes. Sireeee. We're going for a walk."

2.Create verses about things you find like a flag or a cat. Start a verse for something a little ways ahead, then further along to keep yourselves interested.

3. Take photos while you walk. Get shots from a child's height.

4. Place photos on every other page in a small photo album across from the words you sang together. Use footprints to make the text pages more interesting.

5. Consider a companion videos using the same photos

and an audio track of you and your grandchild singing.
