In our version, we only acted out the following movements:

If you're a dog and you know it, say "Woof, woof." (woof, woof)
If you're a dog and you know it, wag your tail. (wiggle hips or sway child)
If you're a dog and you know it, tap your paws. (tap knees or wiggle baby's legs)

This is a classic song by Sharon, Lois, and Bram! We sing the song once together to learn the movements. Afterwards, I play the song on the CD Six Little Ducks by Kimbo.
