It is hard to keep up with the hand movements!&rdquo; <em>Productive Struggle is important!<p></em></p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Word</th> <th>Movement</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Bim</td> <td>Both hand tap legs</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Bum</td> <td>Clap</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Biddy Biddy</td> <td>Snap or tap thumb and fingers</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <blockquote> <p>A lot of kids can&rsquo;t snap. I call tapping the thumb and fingers &ldquo;crab clapping.&rdquo; This also helps with speed.</p></blockquote> <p><u><strong>Extension</strong></u> As the teacher, you get a ton of practice.
