___?____ jump the candlestick.

Shelly be nimble
Shelly be quick
Shelly jump over the candlestick

Another variation is to color code the parts of speech on the rhyme, yellow for noun, green for verb, and red for preposition. The children names are printed on yellow paper. Then they choose a picture/word which represents a verb printed on green paper. Then they choose another picture/printed word representing a preposition, printed on red paper. As the new rhyme is read, the child can act out the verb and preposition.
Here's an example of the new rhyme...
Shelly be nimble
Shelly be quick
Shelly dance around the candlestick.
