Well, I've never been to college,
And I've never been to school.
I've never been to Frisco, but I ain't nobody's fool.
To the front, to the back, to the side, side, side.
Do other body parts.
Bang the Table
Bang the table loudly,
Loudly as could be.
Bang the table loudly
Just like me.
Tap the table gently,
Gently as could be.
Tap the table gently,
Just like me.
Purple Stew
I'm making a purple stew. (whip, whip)
I'm making a purple stew. (whip, whip)
With purple potatoes and
Purples tomatoes and you.
Hi there, __________, how do you do?
Fancy meeting you in a purple stew.
Little Mousie
We knew a little mousie
That lived in a house.
No one came to see him/her
Except his/her grandma mousie.
Rise, __________, rise.
Close your eyes .
Point to the east,
Point to the west,
Point to the little one whose turn is next.
The Mitten Song
"Thumbs in the thumb place,
Fingers all together!"
This is the song we sing in mitten weather.
When it is cold,
It doesn't matter whether
Mittens are wool
Or made of finest leather-
This is the song
We sing in mitten weather:
"Thumbs in the thumb-place,
Fingers are all together!"
The School Song - GERMS
(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Cover your nose when you sneeze (ACHOO)
Cover your mouth when you cough (COUGH, COUGH)
Grab a tissue
Quick, quick, quick,
Catch those germs they make us sick!
Cover your nose - ACHOO!
Cover your mouth - COUGH, COUGH!
We'll all feel better if you do!
Handwashing Song:
(Tune: Twinkle, twinkle little star)
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
Look how clean my two hands are,
Soap and water, wash and scrub
Get those germs off rub-a-dub.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
Look how clean my two hands are.
Scary Eyes
See my big and scary eyes (cup eyes around eyes)
Look out now...
A big surprise - BOO! (pull hands away and shout)
Witch
If I were a witch
I'd ride on a broom
And scatter the ghosts
With a ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM!
Three Little Witches
(Tune: Ten Little Indians)
One little, two little, three little witches
Fly over haystacks, fly over ditches
Slide down the moon without any hitches
Heigh-ho Halloweens here.
Stand on your head with a lop-sided wiggle,
Tickle your black cats till they giggle.
Swish through the air with a higgly-piggle
Heigh-ho Halloweens here.
White Bunny
(similar to "Brown Bear, Brown Bear")
White bunny, white bunny,
What do you see?
I see an orange carrot waiting for me.
Orange carrot, orange carrot,
What do you see?
I see a yellow sun shinning on me.
Yellow sun, yellow sun,
What do you see?
I see a grey cloud moving toward me.
Grey cloud, grey cloud,
What do you see?
I see a little blue raindrop falling on me.
Blue raindrop, blue raindrop,
What do you see?
I see pink flowers growing because of me.
Pink flowers, pink flowers,
What do you see?
I see lots of white bunnies hopping around me.
Hop Little Rabbit
(Tune: Hush Little Baby)
Hop little rabbit, HOP, HOP, HOP!
Hop little rabbit, don't you stop.
Hop little rabbit, one-two-three
Hop little rabbit, hop to me.
