Popcorn Chant

You put the oil in the pot,           pour in oil with one hand
and you let it get hot.                   rub floor in circle
You put the popcorn in,              pour in popcorn with  other hand
and you start to grin.                   draw smile on your face
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle,          rub hands
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle,          rub hands more
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle,          rub hands more, faster
POP!!!!                                             CLAP!!!

I usually have to explain to children that a grin is a big smile.

Lauri’s class was making applesauce one year, she modified the chant:
You put the water in the pot
and you let it get hot.
You throw the apples in,
and you start to grin.
Simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer,
Simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer,
Simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer,
Mush!
I’ll usually do this later on with the children, so don’t give it away!
