Week 5

Rhymes:
Two little black birds
Sitting on a wall
One named Peter
One named Paul
Fly away Peter
Fly away Paul
Come back Peter
Come back Paul!

Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
I see you, I see you
I see your button nose
I see your tiny toes
I see you, peek-a-boo!

Jack in the box sits oh so still
Will you come out?
Oh yes I will!

Can you play at peek-a-boo?
I can play at peek-a-boo
Are you there? Yes I am.
Are you there? Yes I am.
Peek-a, peek-a, peek-a-boo!

Bounce:
(Tune: Shortenin' Bread)
Tiny little baby loves bouncing, bouncing
Tiny little baby loves bouncing so
Tiny little baby loves bouncing, bouncing
Tiny little baby loves bouncing so
Bounce to the left
Bounce to the right
Now hug that baby
Nice and tight!

Songs:
Where are You? (Tune: Skip to My Lou)
Jenny, Jenny, where are you? (use your baby's name)
Jenny, Jenny, where are you?
Jenny, Jenny, where are you?
Here's a kiss from me to you! (give baby a kiss)

I like to rise, I like to rise in the morning
When the birds sing, the bells ring
The sun through my window shining
I like to rise, I like to rise.
(other verses: jump, dance, sing)

Week 4

Bounces:
Rickety, rickety rocking horse
Over the hills we go
Rickety, rickety rocking horse
Giddy-up, giddy-up, WHOAA!

Ten little horses galloped into town
Five were black and five were brown
They galloped up
And they galloped down
They galloped and they galloped
Right out of town!

Baby be nimble, baby be quick
Baby jumped over the candlestick!

Flying-man, flying-man
Up in the sky
Where are you going to
Flying so high?
Over the mountains
And over the sea
Flying-man, flying-man
Can't you take me?

Ride a little pony down to town
Better be careful or you might fall down!

Songs:
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We're going to the moon
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We're going very soon
If you want to take a trip
Climb aboard my rocket ship
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We're going to the moon
5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Blastoff!

Week 3

Rhymes:

Round and round the haystack (circle on top of head)
Looking for a hare
Where shall we find one?
Oh! Right there! (tickle behind ear)

Round about, round about (circle palm)
Went the we mouse
Up a bit, up a bit (walk fingers up arm)
Into his house (tickle under arm)

Bounces:

I had a horse his name was Jack
I rode his tail
To save his back
His tail fell off
And I went back
Whoaa! Jack!

Songs:

(Tune: The Wheels on the Bus)
The cows in the barn go moo, moo, moo
Moo, moo, moo,
Moo, moo, moo
The cows in the barn go moo, moo, moo
All day long!
(other verses: sheep, dogs, pigs, cows, etc.)

Baa baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full
One for the master
And one for the dame
One for the little boy
Who lives down the lane
Baa baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full.

Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went
Mary went, Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day
Which was against the rules.

Mad the children laugh and play
Laugh and play, laugh and play
Made the children laugh and play
to see a lamb at school.

Crackers and crumbs
Crackers and crumbs
These are my fingers
These are my thumbs
These are my eyes
And these are my ears
They're going to grow big
in the next 10 years!

Pizza pickle pumpernickle
My little one shall have a tickle
One for his nose
One for his toes
One for his tummy
Where the hotdog goes!

You roll it
You roll it
You roll it
You roll it
And then you put the raisins in!

Way up high in an apple tree
Two red apples smile down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmm they're good!

Hot cross buns

Legs apart, legs together
Legs apart, Boo!
Legs apart, legs together

Tasty as can be

Pickles in the pickle pot
Cookies in the tin
Tickles on the tummy
And underneath the chin!

Bounces:
Mix a pancake
Stir a pancake
Pop it in the pan
Fry a pancake
Toss a pancake
Catch it if you can!

Dickery dickery dare
the pig flew up in the air
The man in brown

Dickery dickery dare

Wash the dishes
Dry the dishes
Ring the bell for tea
Three good wishes
Three good kisses
I will give to thee!

Songs:
I want someone to buy me a pony
Jig jog jig jog jigga jog gee
Not too fat and not too boney
Jig jog jig jog jigga jog gee
For I want to take a ride
All around the country side
With a jig jog jig jog jig jog jig jog
Jig jog jigga jog gee.

(Tune: Mama's Little Baby Loves Shorten'in Bread)
Sitting in my high chair
Big chair, my chair
Sitting in my high chair
Banging my spoon
Sitting in my high chair
Big chair, my chair
Sitting in my high chair
Feed me soon
Bring on the carrots
Bring on the peas
Somebody feed this baby please.
Bring on bananas
Bring on the bread
Somebody get this baby fed.
