I know you are WAY excited about testing! Here's what we do every year with "Test Me" from Music K-8, Vol. 16, No. 4.
Test me = Pretend you are holding a big test booklet and you are opening and closing it to the beat (no clapping sound).
'Cause I am ready = Tap your watch or wrist where your watch should be.
'Cause I have studied = Rhythmically tap your head.
Show you, show you, show you = Point (Village People style) to the left, the middle, the right.
What I know = Both thumbs point to self.
After "what I know" make muscle man poses, grunts are optional.
During the verses we sway and clap to the beat. On the instrumental part before it goes back to the chorus we do my special dance move called "The Mrs. King."
"The Mrs. King" = Put both pointer fingers in the air, shake your booty while moving hands up and down and turning in a circle. The kids think this is hilarious!
