1 Songs and Fingerplays Animal Poem I'm a little kitty, I love to tippy toe. Won't you do it with me? Ready now, let's go. I'm a little rabbit, I love to hop, hop, hop. Come on and do it with me. It's fun; we'll never stop. I'm a great big elephant, I take big steps so slow. I'd love to have you join me. Ready now? Let's go. I'm a little dog, I love to run and run. If you would do it with me, We could have such fun. 1

2 Five Little Monkeys Five little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the doctor and the doctor said "No more monkeys jumping on the bed. Five Little Fishies Five little fishies swimming in a pool, (wiggle fingers) First one said, "The pool is cool." (one finger up, wrap arms around body) Second one said, "The pool is deep." (two fingers up, measure deep) Third one said, "I want to sleep." (three fingers up, rest head on hands) Fourth one said, "Let's dive and dip." (four fingers up, hand dives and dips) 2

3 Fifth one said, "I spy a ship." (five fingers up, peer out under hand) Fisherman's boat comes, (fingers form a V and move away from body) Line goes ker-splash, (pantomime throwing fishing line) Away the five little fishies dash. (wiggle five fingers away) Head and Shoulders Head and shoulders, Knees and toes. Head and shoulders, Knees and toes. Eyes and ears, And mouth and nose. Head and shoulders, Knees and toes. (touch each body part as mentioned; repeat faster and faster) 3

4 I'm a Little Teapot I'm a little teapot short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout. When I get all steamed up hear me shout. Just tip me over and pour me out. Kookaburra Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Merry, merry king of the bush is he Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra! Gay your life must be Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Eating all the gum drops he can see. Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra! Leave some there for me Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Counting all the monkeys he can see Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra! That's not a monkey that's me 4

5 Little Bunny Foo Foo Little Bunny Foo Foo hopping through the forest Scooping up the field mice, and bopping them on the head. Down came the good fairy, and she said, "Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't want to see you, Scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head. I'll give you three chances, and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!" But the very next day... (Repeat until the last chance, then) "Little Bunny Foo Foo, I gave you three chances, and you blew it! So now I'm going to turn you into a Goon" And Poof! Little Bunny Foo Foo wasn't a bunny anymore, she was a Goon! And the moral of this story? Hare Today Goon Tomorrow 5

6 My Hands My hands upon my head I'll place Upon my shoulders, on my face, At my waist, and by my side, And then behind me they will hide. Then I'll raise them way up high, And let my fingers fly, fly, fly. Then clap, clap, clap, and one, two, three, Just see how quiet they can be. Peter Hammers Peter hammers with one hammer, one hammer one hammer, (pound one fist on floor or leg) Peter hammers with one hammer all day long. Two hammers...(pound two fists) Three hammmers...(pound two fists, one foot) Four hammers...(pound two fists, two feet) Five hammers...(pound two fists, two feet, nod head up and down) Peter's very tired now...rub eyes, then lay head on hands. 6

7 Ring Around The Rosie Ring around the rosie, Pocket full of posies, Ashes, ashes, we all fall down. Tiptoe around the rosie Skip, hop, run, jump Six Little Ducklings There were six little ducklings I once knew, A fat one, skinny one and that made two. But the one little duck with the feathers on his back He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack. Down to the river they did go, Wiggle, wobble, wiggle, wobble, to and fro, But the one little duck with the feathers on his back, He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack. He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack. 7

12 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 over town. (or all the way to school) The People on the bus go up and down, The driver on the bus says move on back, The babies on the bus go wah, wah, wah, The parents on the bus go shhh, shhh, shhh, The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish, The lights on the bus go blink, blink, blink, The door on the bus goes open and shut, 12
