Then show me what you'd do.
I can be a raindrop,
A raindrop, a raindrop.
I can be a raindrop,
So here's some rain for you!
(Arms in the air, fingers floating down like rain)
Can you be a flower,
A flower, a flower?
Can you be a flower?
Then show me what you'd do.
I can be a flower,
A flower, a flower.
I can be a flower,
Growing just for you!
(Children in kneeling position, slowly 'growing' to stand big
and tall)
Can you be a buzzing bee?
Then show me what you'd do.
I can be a buzzing bee,
A buzzing bee, a buzzing bee.
I can be a buzzing bee,
With honey sweet for you!
('Buzz' around like a bee)
(While this song centers around nature; you could try a 'farm
animals' or 'zoo' theme, too!)
Wiggle Song
My thumbs are starting to wiggle
My thumbs are starting to wiggle
My Thumbs are starting to wiggle
Around and Around and Around
(replace thumbs with fingers, elbows, shoulders, head optional: knees, hips, whole body)
Up Down, Turn Around
Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground.
Wiggle shoulders, wiggle nose,
Wiggle fingers
Say hello.
Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground.
Jiggle tummy, blink your eyes,
Blow a kiss
And wave good bye
Can you be a buzzing bee,
A buzzing bee, a buzzing bee?

But the horse named May just galloped
Away, away, away, away, away, whee

All of a sudden it went (clap) bang
Clap clap Hands
Clap, clap Hands 1, 2, 3
Place your hands upon your knees
Lift them up to touch the sky
Clap clap hands & away they fly.
Sleeping pterodactyls
All the pterodactyls were sleeping very still
Down in the cave at the bottom of the hill
When all of a sudden one of them did cry
Wake up pterodactyls and fly, fly, fly
Fly to the east and fly to the west
Fly all around and come back home to rest
Lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby baby fuss and baby cry
You‟ll be sleeping by and by
Sleepy little baby
Things go right and things go wrong
Hearts may break but not for long
You will grow up big and strong
Sleepy little baby
Lullaby, lullaby, baby slowly close your eyes
You‟ll be sleeping by and by
Sleepy little baby

Grandma Moses
Grandma Moses was sick in bed
She called for the Doctor and the Doctor said
Grandma Moses you ain‟t sick
All you need is a peppermint stick
So get up and shake, shake, shake, shake
So get down and shake, shake, shake, shake
Turn around and shake, shake, shake, shake
Get out of town and shake, shake, shake, shake
Dingle Dangle Scarecrow
When all the cows were sleeping and the sun had gone to
bed, up jumped the scarecrow and this is what he said
I‟m a dingle dangle scarecrow, with a flippy floppy hat. I can
shake my hands like this and shake my feet like that.
When all the hens were roosting and the moon behind the
cloud, up jumped the scarecrow and shouted right out loud
I‟m a dingle dangle scarecrow, with a flippy floppy hat. I can
shake my hands like this and shake my feet like that.
When all the pigs were snoring and the stars were shining
bright, up jumped the scarecrow and shouted with delight
I‟m a dingle dangle scarecrow, with a flippy floppy hat. I can
shake my hands like this and shake my feet like that.

So come for a ride in my big blue boat ,
Out on the deep blue sea.

Here is a tree with leaves so green
And here are the apples that hang in between
When the wind blows the apples will fall
And here is a basket to gather them all
