Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are

Bedtime Tickle Bug

Tickle bug, tickle bug

Hunting feet

Creeping creeping

Over the sheet

One! Two!

Catch ‘em like this
(catch feet)

Tickle-y Tickle-y
(tickle toes)

Tummy kiss!
(kiss tummy)

Cowboy Bedtime

This little cowboy is going to bed.
(point to self)

Down on his hat he lays his head.
(rest head on hands)

He wraps himself in bedroll tight,
(wrap arms around body)

And this is the way he sleeps all night.

Morning comes, he opens his eyes.
(raise head, eyes wide open)

Off with a toss the bedroll flies.
(fling arms wide)

Soon he is up and dressed and away,
(jump up)

Ready to ride on the range all day.
(clap hands, gallop away)

I'm Sleepy, Very Sleepy

I'm Sleepy, Very Sleepy

I want to stretch and yawn

I'll close my eyes and just pretend

that daylight time has gone

I'll breathe so softly, be so still

A little mouse might creep

across the floor, because he thought

that i was fast asleep

(suit actions to words)

Man in the Moon

The man in the moon
Looked out of the moon
Looked out of the moon and said
I think it's time for all good children
To think about going to bed

Big Yellow Moon

Big yellow moon shines so bright,
(Arms above head in circle shape.)

Glides across the starry night,
(Arms move from left to right.)

Looks down at me
(Hand shades eyes.)

Asleep in bed,
(Hands together at side of face.)

Whispers, "Good night, sleepyhead."
(Forefinger in front of mouth.)

Big yellow moon, your turn is done.
(Arms above head move down in front of body.)

Here comes Mr. Morning Sun.
(Arms move above head in circle shape.)

I wake up.
(Arms stretch out.)

You go to bed.
 (Hands together at side of face.)

"Sleep well, Moon, you sleepyhead."
(Forefinger in front of mouth.)

If I were a Bird

If I were a Bird, I'd sing a song

And fly about the whole day long
(cross thumbs and flap hands like wings)

And when the night comes, go to rest,

Way up high in my cozy nest.
(cup hands together to form nest)

Baby's Nap

This is a baby ready for a nap.
(hold up index finger)

Lay him down in his mother's lap
(place index finger on open palm of other hand)

Cover him up so he won't peep
(wrap fingers around index finger)

Rock him 'till he's fast asleep
(rock hands back and forth)

Going to Bed

This little child is going to bed
(point to self)

Down on the pillow he lays his head
(rest head on hands)

He wraps himself in a blanket tight
(hug yourself)

And this is the way he sleeps all night
Zzzzzzz...ZZZZZZZZz

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

(count on fingers)

Five little monkeys  
(hold 5 fingers up)
Jumping in the bed.

One fell off
(hold up 1 finger)
And bumped his head.  
(rub head)


Momma called the doctor
(hold up hand to ear as a telephone)
And the doctor said,
"No more monkeys
(point and wave finger)
jumping in the bed!"


Repeat with:
Four little monkeys jumping in the bed.
Three little monkeys jumping in the bed.
Two little monkeys jumping in the bed.
One little monkey jumping in the bed.

Wee Willie Winkie

Wee Willie Winkie

Runs through the town,

Upstairs and downstairs

In his nightgown.

Rapping at the windows,

Crying through the lock,

"Are the children all in bed?

For it's now eight o'clock.

To Bed, To Bed

To bed, to bed,

Says Sleepy-head.

Tarry a while, says Slow.

Put on the pan,

Says greedy Nan,

We'll sup before we go.

My Toothbrush

(perform actions indicated)

I have a little toothbrush

I hold it very tight

I brush my teeth each morning,

And then again at night

Ten in Bed

Ten in Bed

There were ten in bed
(hold up two hands, fingers extended, palms facing out)

And the little one said,
Roll over, Roll Over!
(wiggle one of the little fingers)

So they all rolled over
And One fell out
(make hands into fists and roll them)

There were nine in bed
(hold up two hands, 9 fingers extended, palms facing out)

Continue until...
There was one in bed,
and the little one said
Good Night!

To Bed

This Little Girl is going to Bed

Down on the pillow she lays her head
(open palm and lay index finger across it)

Wraps herself in the covers tight
(close open palm around index finger)

And this is the way she sleeps all night

Morning comes and she opens her eyes
Back with a toss the cover flies
(release finger from plam quickly)

(make the actions in the rhyme)
Up she jumps and gets all dressed,

And washes her face and washes her hands

And combs her hair and brushes her teeth

And drinks her orange juice

And eats her oatmeal

And eats her toast and drinks her milk

And buttons her coat and goes to school.
