I take some yellow, I take some blue
I mix them together to make something new

The parachute goes up...and down!
The parachute goes left
The parachute goes right
Left! Right! Left! Right!

Repeat 1st verse and on the last UP have the kids run under the parachute and let it settle down on them!
Nursery Rhyme
Baa, baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir; yes, sir
Three bags full.
One for the master
And one from the dame
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
What other color sheep could we ask to get wool from?
