Sing a Song of Sixpence
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting
house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.
Polly Put the Kettle On
Polly put the kettle on,
Polly put the kettle on,
Polly put the kettle on,
We'll all have tea.
Sukey take it off again,
Sukey take it off again,
Sukey take it off again,
They've all gone away
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
And eyes and ears and mouth and
nose.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes!
Each time you sing it try leaving a
body part out by not singing it out
loud!
Incy Wincy Spider
Incy wincy spider climbed up the
water spout,
Down came the rain and washed
poor Incy out,
Out came the sunshine and dried
up all the rain,
So Incy wincy spider climbed up
the spout again.

Jack and Jill Went Up the Hill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got and home did trot,
As fast as he could caper;
And went to bed to mend his head
With vinegar and brown paper
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane
Roly Poly

Roly poly, roly poly, round and round
Now clap your hands together

Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble side to side
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble side to side
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble side to side
Now clap your hands together

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle Twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are.
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Humpty Dumpty sat on the ground
Humpty Dumpty looked all around.
Gone were the chimneys and gone were the roofs
All he could see were buckles and hooves.
Humpty Dumpty counted to 10
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Humpty Dumpty got up again
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men
Were happy that Humpty’s together again!
The Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All day long.
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
All day long.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep...
The people on the bus go chatter, chatter,
chatter.....
I’m a Little Teapot
I’m a little teapot short and stout
Here’s my handle, here’s my spout
When I see the teacups hear me shout
‘Tip me up and pour me out!’
Wind the Bobbin Up
Wind the bobbin up, wind the bobbin up
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap
Wind it back again, wind it back again,
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap.
Point to the ceiling, point to the floor,
Point to the window and point to the door
Clap your hands together one, two, three
Put your hands upon your knee.
Two Little Dickie Birds
Two little dickie birds sitting on a wall
One named Peter, the other named Paul
Fly away Peter, fly away Paul
Come back Peter, come back Paul.
I have 10 Little Fingers
I have 10 little fingers
And they all belong to me
I can make them do things
Would you like to see?
I can shut them up tight
And open them out wide
Put them all together
And make them all hide.
I can make them jump high
I can make them jump low
I can fold them quietly
And put them all just so!
Head Toes Tum
(Tune – Hot Cross Buns)
Head toes tum, Head toes tum,
Touch your head, then touch your toes,
And pat your tum!
Here’s a little tickle, for my cuddle-bun,
Touch your head, then touch your toes
And pat your tum!
Jelly on a Plate
Jelly on a plate, jelly on a plate,
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble,
Jelly on a plate.
Jelly on a spoon, jelly on a spoon,
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble,
Jelly on a spoon.
Jelly in my tum, jelly in my tum,
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble,
Jelly in my tum.
