A playful circle-time song where children work together to build a face by adding features one at a time. As each facial feature is introduced, children sing, listen, and discuss its purpose, encouraging active participation and shared engagement.

Props needed: The outline of a head – could be drawn on a whiteboard or a felt face and felt features are an excellent addition to the song!

A reflective note for teaching guidance: This song was written several years ago and uses the phrase “Let’s Make a Man” to describe building a face. Some practitioners may choose to keep the original wording, while others may wish to discuss with children whether the completed face could represent anyone, regardless of gender. This can provide an opportunity to explore how language shapes our assumptions about people and identity. A further point to note is that the recorded lyrics (in the vocal track) use the original title ‘Let’s make a man’.
