Week 1

Welcome to Shake, Rattle & Read!

Rhymes:
Here is a bunny with ears so funny
And here is his hole in the ground
The first sound he hears
He pricks up his ears
And hops right into the ground.

Two little ducks swimming in a lake (hold up pointer finger on each hand)
One named Jack, one named Jill
Swim away Jack, swim away Jill (hide each finger)
Swim back Jack, swim back Jill! (bring back each finger)

Two little houses closed up tight (cover face)
Let's open the widows and let in some light! (uncover face)

Cheek, chin, cheek, chin (touch parts of baby's body)
Cheek, chin, nose.
Cheek, chin, cheek, chin
Cheek, chin, toes
Cheek, chin, cheek, chin
Cheek, chin, up baby goes! (lift baby)


Bounces:
1, 2, 3, (bounce baby)
Baby's on my knee
Rooster crows (crow like a rooster)
And away he/she go-o-o-es! (quickly lower baby)

All the little bunnies were sitting on the ground
They heard the farmer coming but they didn't make a sound
Hop little bunnies and scurry all around
Find a rabbit hole and then you hide right underground.
One by one the bunnies back to the garden hopped
To eat the crispy lettuce and the crunchy carrot tops
Back came the farmer and he's looking all around
Find a rabbit hole and then you hide right underground.

Here goes the rabbit
Hoppity-hop
To drink some water
Sippity-sip
Where will she find it?
No not there.
She'll find it
Under baby's ear! (tickle baby's ear)

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall (tip baby over)
Humpty Dumpty fell in a puddle
Humpty Dumpty needa a big cuddle! (hug baby)

I bounce you here
I bounce you there
I bounce you, bounce you everywhere
I tickle you here
I tickle you there
I tickle you, tickle you everywhere
I hug you here
I hug you there
I hug you, hug you everywhere!

Songs:
Over in the meadow
Early in the morning
See the little chicks
All in a row
See the busy farmer
Scattering their breakfast
Peck, peck, cheep, cheep
Off they go!

See the little bunnies sleeping
Til it's nearly noon
Come and gently wake them
With a merry tune
Oh how still
Are they ill?
Wake up soon.
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop (repeat 4x)
