Imagine that it's early in the morning and you've just got up. You're getting ready for school. What clothes do you wear? Write a list.

Now what do you put on first, and then next? Can you describe what you do? (For example, "I put my left sock on first. I put my foot into the sock, and then I pull it up.")

Don’t put your trousers on your head, Fred
You know you should put your legs in those
Fasten up your buttons and your zip, Pip
That’s the way to wear your clothes

Velcro fasteners, buttons or zip
Got to do them up or you will trip
If you run around with shoes undone
You’re going to fall and it’s not much fun

Don’t put the zipper round the back, Jack
The hood will cover up your face
And don’t wear your gloves upon your feet, Pete
You’ll be last in every race

Velcro fasteners, buttons or zip
Got to do them up or you will trip
If you run around with shoes undone
You’re going to fall and it’s not much fun

A belt for your skirt is very handy, Mandy
It stops it falling to your knees
And when you know just what to do, Sue
You’ll be as neat as you can be

Velcro fasteners, buttons or zip
Got to do them up or you will trip
If you run around with shoes undone
You’re going to fall and it’s not much fun

Don’t put your trousers on your head
