Fun Way To Memorize The Counties of Utah

We had fun memorizing the 29 Counties of Utah by learning this song with actions. It was fun to see how fast we could do it. You may use this song for your own personal use, but the song is copyrighted so please do not make copies.

Repeated actions through song:
(start actions on "Elder" --one action per beat)
Both hands slap knees (Elder)
Cross  hands and slap knees again (Beaver)
Both hands slap knees (Cache)
Thumb point over shoulder (Carbon)
Right hand touches left shoulder and stays there (Dagget)
Left hand touches right shoulder so both arms are crossed (Davis)
Make fists and bring both elbows downward in front of body with fists upward (and)
Both fisted arms reach straight up (Duschene)
Continue repeating actions
