What to do with this activity?

Repetitive rhythmical rhymes and games are fun. They help your child recognise the familiar and learn to expect the next bit. Sit your child on edge of your knees, either facing you or facing away, with your hands holding them safely under the arms. Bump your child on your knee with the rhythm of the words.

This is the way the lady rides, the lady rides, the lady rides.  
This is the way the lady rides. (Up and down on your knees, but slowly)
This is the way the gentleman rides, the gentleman rides, the gentleman rides.
This is the way the gentleman rides. (Bump up and down a bit faster) 
This is the way the jockey rides, the jockey rides, the jockey rides.  
And this is the way the jockey falls. (Bump up and down really fast and, still holding them safely, let them fall through your legs at the end)

       
You could substitute names of people you know for "lady" and "gentleman" if those terms seems old-fashioned. This game results in lots of giggles and shouts of “again”. Here's a Spanish version of the game.
