I Can Play Everyday!
By Allison Millhouse & Jaron Sackenheim

I can walk on my toes and be as quiet as a mouse!
I can jump like a kangaroo with my knees bent, and my body leaning forward!
I can hang like a monkey in a tree with both hands on the limb!
I can climb tall mountains like a Billy goat using both my hands and my feet!
I can hop like a frog with my knees at my chest!
I can run fast like a cheetah with the wind in my hair!
I can swim like a dog, and keep my head above the water!
I can stomp like an elephant, with my foot on the ground!
I can do yoga and stand like a flamingo, only using one leg!
I can fly like a bird, with my body attached to a hang glider!
I can walk like a crab, using both my hands and feet, and pressing my hips to the sky!
The best part about free play is that I can do it with my friends everyday!
