When the Day is Over

When the day is over

And the sun goes down

And the king of the valley takes off his crown

Then the queen of the valley takes off her socks

And she wiggles her toes as she rocks, rocks, rocks.

The Airplane

The airplane has great big wings (children stretch out arms.)

Its propeller spins round and sings, Vvvvvvrrruuuummmmm. (children move right arms around in a circle.)

The airplane goes up. (they lift up their arms)

The airplane dips down.

The airplane flies--round all of the town! (With arms outstretched, they turn around twice.)

Wiggle Fingers

Wiggle fingers,

Wiggle so,

Wiggle high,

Wiggle low.

Wiggle left,

Wiggle right.

Wiggle fingers out of sight!

Two Little Blackbirds

Two little blackbirds

Sitting on a hill.

One named Jack,

One named Jill.

Fly away Jack,

Fly away Jill.

Come back Jack,

Come back Jill.

The Little Boy Goes in the Tunnel

The little boy goes in the tunnel (begin to put shirt over head)

Knock, knock, knock (tap lightly on top of his head)

Up he comes, and up he comes

And out the top! (pull shirt down until his head emerges triumphantly!)

Here is a Beehive

Here is a beehive,

But where are the bees?

Hidden away where nobody sees,

See them come creeping out of the hive,

One, two, three, four, five

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

An Elephant Goes Like This & Like That

An elephant goes like this and like that

He’s very big, And he’s very fat.

He has no fingers, He has no toes

But goodness gracious, what a nose! (make a trunk with your arm)

Creeping

Creeping, creeping, creeping, (creep fingers up child’s arm)

Comes the little cat.

But bunny with his long ears

Hops like that! (bounce fingers up child’s arm)

Steamroller

Here is the steamroller, rolling and rolling (roll your arms over each other)

Ever so slowly because of it’s load

First it goes up to the top of the hill (roll your arms upward)

Puffing and panting it has to stand still - (pause)

Then it rolls all the way down! (quickly roll your arms downward)

Here is a Nest for a Bluebird

Here is a nest for a bluebird

Cheep Cheep Cheep

Here is a hive for a bee

Buzz Buzz Buzz

Here is a hole for a bunny

And here is a house for me.

Choo! Choo!

I’m a little choo-choo train

Chugging down the track

First I go forward, then I go back

Now my bell is ringing

Hear my whistle blow

What a lot of noise I make

Everywhere I go
