Teddy Bear, 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, bend down low,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch your toes,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, go to bed,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, rest your head,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn out the lights,
Teddy bear, Teddy bear, say “good night.”

I’m a Little Shamrock

(tune: I’m a little teapot) 
I’m a little shamrock see my leaves
Count my petals if you please.
If you give me water and lots of sun,
I’ll bring you good luck and lots of fun.

Ladybug Color Game

Let’s play a ladybug color game, 
I’ll give you rhyming clues. 
If you know it, say the name of each color that I use!

The sun shines bright with a golden glow,
Painting the world in shades of… yellow!

It’s grape jelly in a peanut butter swirl,
This sweet, jiggly jam is the color… purple!

Frogs leap high in ponds unseen,
Blending with leaves so fresh and… green!

I love blowing big bubbles in a single wink,
Because icky, sticky bubble gum is the color… pink!

The sky is wide and the ocean too,
Both are filled with a lovely… blue!

Pumpkins or basketballs rolling by 
Can you guess the color that we now spy… orange!

I’m the color of snowflakes and daisies so bright,
A soft cotton ball is the color… white!

A stop sign, a rose, and  strawberry jam on bread,
All are bright, and all are… red!

Ladybug, ladybug up in the sky
Thanks for the fun and now we say, “Goodbye!”

I’m a little ladybug

(tune: I’m a little teapot)
I’m a little ladybug on the go,
Landing on my arm, then an elbow.
See me fly around and around your hand,
Then watch as on your *head I land!

*thumb, shoe, knee, etc.

Zoom, Baaa, Zoom

Zoom, Baaa, zoom, 
The sheep are on the moon.
Zoom, Baaa, zoom, 
The sheep are on the moon.
When they want to take a trip, 
They climb aboard their rocket ship.
Zoom, baaa, zoom! The sheep are on the moon! 5-4-3-2-1 Baaaaast off!

Far, Baaa, far, the sheep are in the stars…
Fun, Baaa, fun, The sheep are on the sun…

Broccoli the Dragon

I’m Broccoli the Dragon.
My wings flip and flap.
I can change my colors 
When I hear a loud, CLAP!

All By Myself

There are many things that I can do (All by myself!)
I can comb my hair and lace my shoe (All by myself!)
I can wash my hands and wash my face (All by myself!)
I can put my toys and blocks in place (All by myself!)

Stand Up, Shine Bright!

(Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you’re brave and you know it, stomp your feet—stomp, stomp!
If you’re brave and you know it, stomp your feet—stomp, stomp!
Stand up tall, don’t be small,
You are strong, you’ve got it all!
If you’re brave and you know it, stomp your feet—stomp, stomp!

If you’re proud and you know it, stretch out wide—stretch, stretch!
If you’re proud and you know it, stretch out wide—stretch, stretch!
Take up space, stand so tall,
You’re amazing, after all!
If you’re proud and you know it, stretch out wide—stretch, stretch!

If you know that you can do it, thumbs up high—thumbs up!
If you know that you can do it, thumbs up high—thumbs up!
Say, “I can!” and “I am strong!”
Confidence will last lifelong!
If you know that you can do it, thumbs up high—thumbs up!

If you’re ready for adventure, jump up high—jump, jump!
If you’re ready for adventure, jump up high—jump, jump!
Dream big, reach so high,
You can soar—just give it a try!
If you’re ready for adventure, jump up high—jump, jump!

Jumping and Counting

Jump Jump Jump Jump
Jumping high are we.
But we’ll stop jumping
While we count to three.

Jump Jump Jump Jump
Jumping even more.
But we’ll stop jumping
While we count to four.

Jump Jump Jump Jump
Just like pogo sticks.
But let’s stop jumping
While we count to six.

Jump Jump Jump Jump
Jumping then we wait.
We stop our jumping
While we count to eight.

Jump Jump Jump Jump
Jumping once again.
But we’ll be finished
Once we count to ten.

Here is the Beehive

Here is the beehive
But where are all the bees?
Hiding away where nobody sees.
Here they come flying out of their hive.
One, two, three, four, five!

Here is the beehive.
But where are all the bees?
Hiding away where nobody sees.
Here they come flying out of their hive.
One, two, three, four, five!

Buzz up high. Buzz down low.
Buzzing fast. Buzzing slow.
Buzz to the left. Buzz to the right.
Buzz all day but sleep at night.

Here is the beehive.
But where are all the bees?
Hiding away where nobody sees.
Here they come flying out of their hive.
One, two, three, four, five!

Magical Cat

This magical cat, with a flick and a snap,
Will change its colors when you give a clap!

Down Around the Corner

(tune: Five Little Ducks)
Down around the corner at the bakery shop
Were five fancy cupcakes with sprinkles on top!
Along comes a (insert animal puppet) with a dollar to pay.
She picks up a cupcake and takes it away.

Repeat with other animals
