Down came the apples, mmmmm.
Were they good!

The Bear Went Over the Mountain
The bear went over the mountain.

To see what he could see.

The other side of the mountain.

Was all that he could see.
The bear went down the mountain.
(Repeat 3x)
Very happily!

But where are the bees?
Hiding away where nobody sees.

    stomp with your feet.

Five Little Freckled Frogs
Five little freckled frogs
Sitting on a speckled log
Eating some delicious bugs.

Where it was nice and cool
Now, there’s only four little freckled frogs.

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed.
One fell off and broke his head.

Hands On Your Hips
Hands on your hips,
Hands on your knees,
Hands behind you if you please!
Touch your shoulders,
Touch your nose,
Touch your hair,
Touch your toes!

Here Is A Bunny
Here is a bunny with ears so funny
And here is his hole in the ground.
With each noise that he hears,
He picks up his ears
And hops to his hole in the ground.

Here’s the Train
Here’s the train
Coming down the track.
Now, it’s going forward.
Now, it’s going back.
Now, the bell is ringing.
Hear the whistle blow.
What a lot of noise it makes
Everywhere it goes.

I Wiggle My Fingers
I wiggle my fingers, I wiggle my nose.
I wiggle my shoulders, I wiggle my toes.

And I’m as quiet as quiet can be!

Kitten is Hiding
Kitten is hiding under the chair,
I looked and looked for her everywhere.
Come kitty, come kitty,
Here’s milk for you.
Kitty came running,
Mew, mew. Mew, mew.

Manners
We say thank you; we say please.
We don't interrupt or tease.
We don't fight and we don't fuss.
Listen when folks talk to us.
Share our toys and take our turns.
Manners are easy to learn.

Open, Shut Them
Open, shut them. Open, shut them.
Give a little clap.
Open, shut them. Open, shut them.
Put them on your lap.
Creep them, creep them.
Right up to your chin.
Open w-i-d-e your little mouth.
And do not let them in!

See You Later, Alligator
See you later, alligator
In awhile, crocodile.
Give a hug, ladybug.
Blow a kiss, jellyfish.
See you soon, big baboon
Out the door, dinosaur.
Take care, polar bear.
Wave goodbye, butterfly.

Teddy Bear
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Turn around.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Touch the ground.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Reach up high.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Touch the sky.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Reach down low.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Touch your toes.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Turn off the light.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Say goodnight!

There Was a Little Turtle
There was a little turtle.
He lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle.
He climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea.
H snapped at a minnow.
He snapped at me.
Well, he caught that
mosquito,
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow,
But he didn’t catch me!

This Little Piggy
This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy stayed home.
This little piggy had roast beef.
This little piggy had none.
This little piggy went wee, wee, wee
All the way home.

Tiny Tim
I had a little turtle,
His name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water.
He ate up all the soap.
And now my turtle’s sick in bed
With bubbles in his throat!

Toe, Knee, Nose
Toe, knee, nose. Toe, knee, nose.
Toe, knee, chestnut, nose
I love you!

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.

Wiggles
I wiggle, wiggle here.
I wiggle, wiggle there.
Wiggle your hands up in the air.
Wiggle your shoulders.
Wiggle your hips.
Wiggle your knees
And move your lips.
I wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
And wiggle some more.
Now, let's sit down on the floor.
