My DD has decided that she will sing songs, but only if they have some sort of action that goes with it.
I remember Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes; Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree, Itsy Bitsy Spider; and the Dip song.
I tried Googling it, but the results are pretty overwhelming to weed through.
What are your favorite action songs?
We loved the Wee Sing Tapes when my kids were little. I know they had a book with it that was ALL finger plays and hand motions.

Our whole house loves The Wiggles. They did a couple of albums recently with nothing but traditional nursery rhymes/songs, including some fantastic traditional English ones that aren't done very often here in the US. The DVDs have all the motions. Their original songs all come with actions as well.
I have a horrible time listening to a large amount of children specific singers because, quite frankly, they are terrible. I would rather listen to fingernails on a chalk board then listen to those terrible singers. But I love the singers from The Wiggles, I even have some of their non-children music ;)
Clap Your Hands - They Might Be Giants. Then the lyrics say, "jump in the air". Very fun song for kids.
