Opening 
I know a New Way to Say Hello by Big Jeff for Exercise Party 

I know a new way to say hello 
Say hello say hello 
I know a new way to say hello 
All you do is wiggle your ears 

Stomp your feet

Move your hips 

But I still like the old way to say hello 
Say hello say hello 
All you do is wave your hands

I Know a Giraffe - I feel I have been singing this song for a long time and I still don't know where I first heard it. 

I know a giraffe
he plays the drums
he wakes me up 
whenever bedtime comes
with a rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat

(repeat with the kids suggestions for types of animals or us all farm animals or all zoo animals depending on your theme)

Closing 
First we go up, up, up (rise and reach up)
Then we go down, down, down. (reach down)
Then we go up, up, up, (reach up)
Then we spin round and round (spin around)
Then we all clap, clap, clap. (clap)
Then we all touch the sky. (reach up)
Then we all take a bow (bow)
Then we all say "Goodbye!" (wave goodbye)
