This should help you learn it.  They used to do this at the end of The Elephant Show.

Answer 3

just teach them the pepto bismol dance

Answer 4

Yes, they used to sing it on Barney I think.   Here are the ones I do with it:

Skinna Marink a Dinka Dink

(Put left hand under right elbow, right arm goes up and wave right hand/wiggle fingers)

Skinna Marink a Doo

(Switch arms/hands and do the same thing)

I love you

(Point to eyes, hands over heart, point to other person)

Repeat

I love you in the morning

(Hands touching in air overhead--like a sunrise)

And in the afternoon

(Hands cross body)

I love you in the evening

(Hands folded in semi-circle under waist and back and forth like rocking baby before bed)

Underneath the moon

(Make big circle with hands like a full moon)

Repeat first part.

There are probably variations on this, or you can probably make up your own!  If I am singing this with a group of kids, I try and focus on different children during the song by pointing to or touching noses or patting heads of different children in the group each time I sing the "you" of the choruses.

Answer 5

Yes!  Ark's answer was great, but it maybe easier to understand if you see it.  Here it is:

The whole thing is hand gestures, but I can't remember a lot of them for the life of me.

Answer 8

Yes, it is really hard to explain though.  My daughter is 3 and does it all the time.
