The Penguin Song by Jack Hartmann is a super fun song for brain breaks. The Penguin Dance uses a growing pattern to teach left and right, following directions, listening skills and develops gross motor movement skills. We mirror left and right sides to make it easy to follow.

Brain research suggests that physical activity like engaging in my fun movements songs like Penguin Dance, increases a student’s ability to process and retain new material.

I think brain breaks should be fun! Parent, teachers and kids all love the Penguin Dance.

Brain Breaks including songs like the Penguin Dance help your children rejuvenate and re-focus on learning.

The Penguin Dance is on my Get on Board the Transition Train album.

Educational Song Lyrics:

Have you ever seen a penguin come to tea

When you look at me a penguin you will see Chorus

Penguins attention, penguins begin

Right flipper

Have you ever seen a penguin come to tea

When you look at me a penguin you will see

Right flipper, Left flipper

Have you ever seen a penguin come to tea

When you look at me a penguin you will see

Right flipper, Left flipper, Right leg

Have you ever seen a penguin come to tea

When you look at me a penguin you will see

Right flipper, Left flipper, Right leg, Left leg

Have you ever seen a penguin come to tea

When you look at me a penguin you will see

Right flipper, Left flipper, Right leg, Left leg, Head

Have you ever seen a penguin come to tea

When you look at me a penguin you will see

Right flipper, Left flipper, Right leg, Left leg, Head, Turn around

Have you ever seen a penguin come to tea

When you look at me a penguin you will see

Right flipper, Left flipper, Right leg, Left leg, Head, Turn around, Penguin sound

Have you ever seen a penguin come to tea

When you look at me a penguin you will see

Penguins Attention!
