Preparation: Create signs (such as a circle on a stick) that say Hum, LaLa, Sing, and Whistle. Preferably use card stock to make them sturdier. (Popsicle sticks work great as handles.)
Optional Clipart: Hum, La-La, Sing, Whistle, Boys, Girls
Directions: Have a few children stand in the front of the group and give them a sign. Instruct the children that during a song when your hand is touching a child's head they will hold up their sign, directing the rest of the group to either Hum, Whistle, or Sing the song. When you remove your hand the child lowers the sign and the group stops doing that but follows the next sign that's chosen.
Note: You can also make signs that say Boys and Girls to have just the boys or girls sing. If both signs are up all the children sing.
