Twinkle Acorn Echo Chorus 052
Song promise: Emmitt and Aralynn take turns leading and answering one clear three-count body pattern.
The part everyone joins: “One, two, three—hear it, then echo.”
Lyrics
Emmitt hears the wet leaves tapping.
Aralynn taps both knees once.
Emmitt asks, “What count comes after?”
Aralynn says, “Let’s build to three.”
One, two, three—hear it, then echo.
Tap, clap, pause; now choose your way.
Hands or feet, a nod, or watching—
count the pattern we can play.
By the mossy log, Emmitt models:
one knee tap, two claps, then rest.
Aralynn waits until he finishes,
then repeats the count her way.
One, two, three—hear it, then echo.
Tap, clap, pause; now choose your way.
Hands or feet, a nod, or watching—
count the pattern we can play.
Misty leaf taps twinkle softly.
Mossy rings seem set to count.
Make-believe acorn echoes tiptoe
while the drizzle fades away.
At the lantern post, Aralynn
leads three motions: tap, clap, still.
Emmitt watches through the third count,
then begins the same three beats.
One, two, three—hear it, then echo.
Tap, clap, pause; now choose your way.
Hands or feet, a nod, or watching—
count the pattern we can play.
Counting Tag
Count with motion, sound, or looking.
Wait until the pattern ends.
Lead one round or echo later.
Counting has room for different ways.
