Clap and Sing Hello!

Wiggle Rhyme
We wiggle our fingers
We wiggle our toes
We sit on our bottoms
and wiggle our nose
Now no more wiggles
are left in me
So I can be still,
as still as can be
Open Shut Them
Open shut them
Open shut them
Give a little clap
Open shut them
Open shut them
Lay them in your lap
Closing Rhymes:

Eensy Weensy Spider
The Eensy weensy spider
Went up the water spout (alternately touch the thumb and index finger)
Down came the rain (wiggle fingers down like rain)
And washed the spider out (sweep hands to the sides)
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain (bring hands up in circle, then wiggle fingers up)
And the eensy weensy spider (repeat thumb/index finger movement)
Went up the spout again.
Little White Duck
There's a little white duck sitting in the water,
A little white duck doing what he oughter.
He took a bite of a lily pad,
Flapped his wings and he said "I'm glad;
I'm a little white duck sitting in the water,
Quack! Quack! Quack!"
There's a little green frog swimming in the water,
A little green frog doing what he oughter.
He jumped right off of the lily pad,
That the little duck bit and he said "I'm glad;
I'm a little green frog swimming in the water,
Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!"
There's a little black bug floating on the water,
A little black bug doing what he oughter.
He tickled the frog on the lily pad,
That the little duck bit and he said "I'm glad;
I'm a little black bug floating on the water,
Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!"
There's a little red snake playing in the water,
A little red snake doing what he oughter.
He frightened the duck and the frog so bad,
He ate the bug and he said "I'm glad;
I'm a little red snake playing in the water,
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
There's a little white duck sitting in the water,
A little white duck doing what he oughter.
He took a bite of a lily pad,
Flapped his wings and he said "I'm glad;
I'm a little white duck sitting in the water,
Quack! Quack! Quack!"
Now there's nobody left sitting in the water,
Nobody left doing what he oughter.
There's nothing left but the lily pad,
The duck and the frog ran away, I'm sad;
'cause there's nobody left sitting in the water,
Boo! Hoo! Hoo!
Dance Like Snowflakes
(Tune: Frere Jacques)
(this song is fantastic for scarves)
Dance like snowflakes, dance like snowflakes
In the air, in the air.
Whirling, twirling snowflakes.
Whirling twirling snowflakes.
Here and there, here and there.
Dance like snowmen, dance like snowmen
In the air, in the air.
Whirling, twirling snowflakes.
Whirling twirling snowflakes.
Here and there, here and there.
Dance like children, dance like children
In the air, in the air.
Whirling, twirling snowflakes.
Whirling twirling snowflakes.
Here and there, here and there.
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Baa baa black sheep have you any wool?
Yes ma’am, yes ma’am three bags full.
One for mittens
One for a cap
And one for the little one who sits on my lap.
The Color That I See

A Pair of Socks
I have two feet on which I walk,
But I can only find one sock!
Here's a Sock I like to wear,
But I need a matching pair.
Bring one up so we can see,
If it matches perfectly!
This is What My Feet Can Do
This is what my feet can do, feet can do, feet can do.
This is what my feet can do
Can you do it too?
Let your feet go hop, hop, hop;
hop, hop, hop;
hop, hop, hop
Let your feet go hop, hop, hop
All around the room.
Jump; tiptoe, sit - quietly instead of all around the room

Shake Your Shaker
Tune: London Bridge
Shake your shaker in the air
Shake it here, shake it there
Shake your shaker in the air
Shake your shaker
Shake it up and shake it down
Shake your shaker on the ground
Shake it up and shake it down
Shake your shaker
Shake it fast and shake it slow
Shake it stop, shake it go
Shake it fast and shake it slow
Shake your shaker
Shake it high and shake it low
Shake it yes, shake it no
Shake it high and shake it low
Shake your shakers
Shake it to the east,
shake it to the west.
Shake it all around
And then you take a rest.
Shake your shakers up,
Shake your shakers down.
Shake it, shake it shake it
And then you settle down.
