Hokey Pokey Song on Dana’s Best Sing & Play-Along #6
You put your right foot in. You put your right foot out.
You put your right foot in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around. -- That's what it's all about!
You put your left foot in...
You put your right arm in...
You put your left arm in...
You put your head in...
You put your whole self in...
You put your right foot in. You put your right foot out.
You put your right foot in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around. -- That's what it's all about!
You put your left foot in...
You put your right arm in...
You put your left arm in...
You put your head in...
You put your whole self in...
Parachute Games - Pop Goes The Weasel! & London Bridge (Parents held parachute with kids underneath, brought down the parachute on “pop” and “falling down:
Pop Goes The Weasel! from Susie Tallman’s Animal Songs and Stories #17
'Round and 'round the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop! Goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread
A penny for a needle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
A half a pound of tuppenny rice,
A half a pound of treacle.
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
Up and down the London road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
The monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop! Goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread
A penny for a needle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
A half a pound of tuppenny rice,
A half a pound of treacle.
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
Up and down the London road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
London Bridge track #6 on Lily Cat Very Good Day (many other albums too, didn’t like Playtime Favorites though)
London Bridge is Falling Down
London bridge is falling down
Falling down, falling down.
London bridge is falling down,
My fair lady.
Take the key and lock her up,
lock her up, lock her up.
Take the key and lock her up, my fair lady.
lock her up, lock her up.
Take the key and lock her up, my fair lady.
etc.
End parachute portion.

If You're Happy and You Know It Song on Dana’s Best Sing & Play-Along #12
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.

If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet...

If you're happy and you know it shout hurray...

Sing! Song on Sing: Songs of Joe Raposo (and many other Sesame Street Albums) Also available as a book. We form a big circle with everyone (including the grown-ups!) and sing this twice through, I start very softly and sing much stronger/louder the second time through. On the “la las” we hold hands and move into the center of the circle and then out again. Played the album afterwards for hand stamping.
Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud, sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
La la la la la, la la la la la la, (move into the circle)
La la la la la la la (back out of the circle)
La la la la la, la la la la la la, (move into the circle)
La la la la la la la (back out of the circle)
Repeat from beginning, louder and stronger.
6/15. 3/15, 3/12, 3/10 handout optional…with so many recorded songs, not really necessary.

One Little Elephant (puppet, parade) Song on Sharon, Lois, & Bram’s One Little Elephant Went Out to Play (omitted 3/2015, no time)
One little elephant went out to play
On a spider’s web one day
She had such enormous fun
That she called for another elephant to come.

Silly action song: Do Your Ears Hang Low ? Song on Sharon, Lois, & Bram’s album Stay Tuned also Wee Sing “25th Anniversary” (fun to do with a pair of tights on head)
Do your ears hang low
Do they wobble to and fro
Can you tie them in a knot (ow!)
Can you tie them in a bow
Can you toss them over your shoulder
Like a regimental soldier
Do your ears hang low…What about your nose?Can you twitch your nose
Can you bend it to and fro
Can you touch it with your tongue
Can you touch it with your toes
With your finger and your thumb
Pinch the end and sing along
Interesting things are noses…
Do they wobble to and fro
Can you tie them in a knot (ow!)
Can you tie them in a bow
Can you toss them over your shoulder
Like a regimental soldier
Do your ears hang low…What about your nose?Can you twitch your nose
Can you bend it to and fro
Can you touch it with your tongue
Can you touch it with your toes
With your finger and your thumb
Pinch the end and sing along
Interesting things are noses…
How 'bout your lips?Can you purse your lips
Can you make them do a twist
Perhaps a crooked smile
Or even blow a kiss
Can you open them really wide
Waggle your tongue about inside
Can you make them do a twist
Perhaps a crooked smile
Or even blow a kiss
Can you open them really wide
Waggle your tongue about inside
Clever little things are lips…
Can you roll your eyes?
Can you look from left to right?
Shut them up tight
Open them really wide.
Give a little wink
Blink, blink, blink.
Wonderful things are eyes!
The Funny Hat Tune: “This Old Man” Celebrating Dr. Seuss (do this with “Cat in the Hat” hat, kids have imaginary hats…) (omitted June 2015)
That my head will wiggle
Wiggle to and fro
Where else should my funny hat go?
Continue with places suggested by the kids -- toe, knee, elbow, shoulder, ear, hair, nose (pinched nose to sound funny), belly, back, etc.
