  best friends. Their names were Tic (one thumb
  up) and Toc (other thumb up).

  a child tell you what time she/he thinks is very

• He started off to Tocs house so he went up the
  hill and down the hill and up the hill and down
  the hill and up the hill and down the hill and up
  the hill and down the hill all the way to his
  house. (Throughout the story, on up the hill
  and down the hill move your Tic or Toc thumb up
  and down with the words and escalate your voice
  up and down as well. Have the children join in.
  This allows them to hear and practice making
  pitches that go up and down.)

  hill and down the hill and up the hill and down

  the way back home. Then he very quietly opened
  the door and climbed the stairs to his room.
