* • I'm A Little Airplane
  (to "I'm a Little Teapot")
  I'm a little airplane,
  (children raise arms at sides to shoulder height.)
  Now watch me fly!
  (They spin one of their arms in front of them as if it were a 
propeller)
  Here are my instruments
  >From down low to up high.
  (With their other arm, they reach from the ground to above their 
heads.)
  First I get revved up.
  (Children make engine-like noises while still spinning their arms.)
  Then I can fly,
  (Children raise arms to shoulder height.)
  Lifting off the runway
  (They start walking forward.)
  Up into the sky!
  (They go up on their tiptoes and continue to move forward. Let them 
circle
  a while before returning to their original positions.)
