I'm just wondering... does anyone else remember such a ritual for new shoes????? Or was my class the only class in the world who did it  ?

Any of these ring a bell??

Old Shoes, New Shoes added 9-10-01 Original Author Unknown
Old shoes, new shoes,
(child's name) is wearing (child describes their shoe. ex. buckle, blue, tennis) shoes.
One, two, three, four.
Now, I stomp them on the floor.

This song is called the New shoe song: It is to the tune of this old man. The lyrics are as follows:
Here's one foot, here are two,
Each one wearing a brand new shoe,
So skip and dance all around the floor,
That's what these new shoes are for.
My preschoolers love this song, when I notice someone with new shoes we make a point to sing it.
