Read together

Jump, play, read, cook, count, speak,
Each one is fun and unique.
Jump up high, touch the sky,
Play with friends, laugh and cry.

Read a book, go on a trip,
Cook a meal, give it a whip.
Count from one to ten, do it again,
Speak with words, be a good friend.

These things we do each day,
Bring us joy in our own way.
So let's jump, play, read, cook, count, and speak,
And have fun, strong, and smart we'll be!
