Week 8

Thank you to everyone! What fun, singing, bouncing and laughing with your babies! Have a wonderful summer!

Rhymes:
Bumble bee was in the barn (circle finger in the air)
Carrying his dinner under his arm (circle finger closer to baby)
Bzzzz...zt! (gently poke baby)

Here we go up, up, up
And here we go down, down, down
And here we go back and forth
And back and forth
And here we go round, and round, and round!

There was little man and he had a little crumb
And over the mountain he did run
With a belly full of fat
And a big tall hat
And a pancake stuck to his bum, bum, bum!
Bounces:
You be the ice cream
I'll be the freezer (hug baby)
You be the lemon
I'll be the squeezer (hug baby)
You be the hot dog
And I'll be the bun (hug baby)
You be the baby
and I'll be the mum! (hug baby)

Songs:
Bell horses, bell horses what's the time of day
One o'clock, two o'clock, time to go away.

Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, brother John
Morning bells are ringing
Morning bells are ringing
Ding, dang, dong
Ding, dang, dong!

As I was walking down the street, down the street, down the street
A nice new friend I chanced to meet
High ho, high ho, high ho
A rig a jig, jig, and away we go, away we go, away we go
A rig a jig, jig, and away we go
High ho, high ho, high ho!

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
In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Blast off!

I want someone to buy me a pony
Jig jog jig jog jig-a-jog jig
Not too fat and not too bony
Jig jog jig jog jig-a-jog jig
For I want to take a ride
All around the country side
With a jig jog jig jog jig jog jig jog jig jog jig-a-jog-jig
With a jig jog jig jog jig jog jig jog jig jog jig-a-jog-jig!

Week 7

Rhymes:

Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-cake
Baker's man
Bake me cake as fast as you can
Pat it and roll it
And mark it with a B
Put it in the oven for Baby and me!

Here is baby's ball
Big and soft and round
Here is baby's hammer
Listen to it pound
Here is baby's trumpet
Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot
And her is baby's favourite game
It's called Peek-a-boo!

Bounces:

Jelly in the bowl, jelly in the bowl
Wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle
Jelly in the bowl.
Cookies in the tin, cookies in the tin
Shake them up, shake them up
Cookies in the tin.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle
Sausage in the pan.

Baby be nimble
Baby be quick
Baby jump over the candlestick! (lift baby)

Down at the bottom of the deep blue sea
Catching fishes for my tea
With a one and a two and a threeee! (lift baby)

While going down a country road
From Jarvis to Port Dover
My wheel got stuck inside a rut
And I went tumbling over, Whoops
Over, Whoops, over Whoops
I went tumbling over, WHOOPS!

Songs:

Sing the ABC song to the usual tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Now use a different tune for the ABC's like Mary Had a Little Lamb for a different rhythm and to hear the letters "L,M,N,O,P" clearly.

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream.

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