Notes: Use fingers to represent family members (thumb=daddy, first finger= mummy, second finger= brother etc.). During the “gunfighter stance” part, make as if you are going for your guns in a high noon western, twitch your fingers, stare your students in the eye etc. Then “quick draw” the appropriate finger during the singing part. Be careful where you point brother…

Notes: Repeat the song structure with the emotions, use an action for each emotion. Use a family card or a girl/boy card with the emotions cards to teach the concept of “he’s” and “she’s” beforehand. Really go for it on the “Meh!” as the kids get into this (imagine Grandpa Morris is complaining…about everything…).
