Show me a Friend

Show me a pencil. Point to your teacher.

Show me a pen. Point to yourself.

Show me some paper. Point to the trash can.

Show me your friend. Point to the shelf.

Open the window. Raise your hand high.

Shut the door. Put it down.

Hands on the table. Give me a smile.

Feet on the floor. Never a frown.

Point to the ceiling. Over to the left.

Point to the ground. Now to the right.

Stand up. Sit down. Stand up. Sit down.

Look around Point to the light.

Show me a chalkboard. Show me a pencil.

Show me a book. Show me a pen.

Show me a chair. Show me some paper.

Give me a look. Show me a friend.
