Hawkins Hollow Nursery Rhymes
Moonlit Rainbow Ribbon Day Rhyme A
“Wiggle, wave—leave room, then pause.” The actual engine is notice → make space → move → pause → choose. Aydin checks the clear route; Aleea leads one gentle ribbon wave. The child may choose a kind next step—say “Room for you”—or a silly next step—make one tiny “ziggle-zaggle” shoulder wiggle.
Rhyme
Moonlit Rainbow Ribbon Day
Dahl Farm lane—tap, tap, start;
Aydin checked the path was clear.
Aleea held one ribbon bright;
“Room to wiggle?” “Yes, that’s right.”
Clover field—wave, then slow;
One small rainbow loop can go.
Aydin marched outside its sweep;
Both left space for hands and feet.
Firefly Hill—what shall we say?
“Room for you,” along the way—
Or shoulders ziggle: “Zaggle-zing!”
Then pause before the next bright swing.
Moonlit colors crossed the day;
Make-believe rainbows joined the play.
Wiggle, wave—leave room, then pause;
Joy has room for one and all.

Ways to Join In
- March: tap knees or feet twice, move in place, or watch.
- Make space: move hands gently apart or indicate an open route.
- Wave: trace one small loop with an empty hand; no real ribbon is required for participation.
- Pause: become still for one beat or rest hands.
- Choose: say “Room for you” or make one small shoulder “ziggle-zaggle.”
- Participation may be spoken, signed, gestured, seated, moving, or watching. Joyful movement stays body-sized: no running, striking, wrapping, pulling, or crowded swinging.
