Magic Shoes…
If I had magic shoes
Do you know what I’d do?
I’d skate all over town and then come back to you.
 If I had magic shoes
 Do you now what I’d do?
I’d walk right up the wall  and then come back to you.
If I had magic shoes
Do you know what I’d do?
I’d run around the world and then come back to you.

My Shoes (Sung to: “Skip to My Lou”)
I have blue shoes, how about you?

I have blue shoes, how about you?
Tap your shoes like I do.”

 Shoes Song…
( “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)
Some shoes buckle. Some shoes clip. 
Some shoes zip and zap they rip.
Some shoes Velcro. Some shoes tie.
Some shoes hurt and some won’t stay tied.
Some shoes seem like all the rest.
But my new shoesare sure the best!

Shoe Pattern…
Line up by the kind of shoes they have–Velcro, tie, etc.  to make a pattern.

 All Kinds of Shoes…
There are all kinds of shoes, for all kinds of feet.
To wear at home  Or out on the street.
There are boots for splashing,
And sneakers for dashing.
There are slippers for napping,
And tap shoes for tapping,
There are cowboy boots for riding,
And ice skates for gliding.
But the best shoes of all ,
Are the ones that fit you.
While you’re doing the thing,
You like to do.
*This one makes a great flannelboard.

My Shoes(Sung to: "Skip to My Lou")
I have two shoes, how about you,
I have two shoes, how about you,
I have two shoes, how about you,
Stomp with your shoes like I do.
