Verb to the Noun

An EverSong, or Multi-tool song, this song carries the main cue that we will move our body in a certain way , to a certain place. For example, "Hop to the line," "Tip-toe in the hall", etc. This song has also been modified to carry the same meaning, but with the idea that we place a body part on a thing, such as "hands to the bricks" when going outside and waiting for the group to gather. This is also a CodeVerb™ song, meaning that we can insert the group topic or interest as well as the intrinsic motivation of a child. CodeVerb is a concept I developed to help motivate some family members who have particular interests, especially my autistic child. This concept tends to come to mean a lot to folks who care for children who have particularly strong interests that are the key to motivating them. Using CodeVerbs in song, play, story and nature, can both motivate the child and provide an avenue for group participation while not "calling the child out" with their interest. It is a welcoming way to invite some children who may be less likely to engage into a group activity.
