Home Sweet Home

A nest is a home for a robin,
(cup hands to form a nest)

A hive is a home for a bee,
(turn cupped hands over)

A hole is a home for a rabbit,
(make a hole with hands)

And a house is a home for me,
(make roof with peaked hands)

Here is a House

Here is a house built up high
(stretch arms up and touch fingers like a roof)

With two tall chimmeys reaching the sky
(strech arms up separately)

Here are the windows
(make square shape with your hands)

Here is the door
(knock)

If we peep inside
We see a mouse on the floor
(move fingers like a running mouse)

Here is a Nest for a Robin

Here is a nest for a robin
(cup hands)

And here is a hive for a bee
(close fist)

And here is a hole for a bunny
(make a circle with both hands)

and here is a house for me
(make roof with both hands/arms over head)

My Igloo

My igloo is round with a tiny low door
(make circle with hands and hold close to ground)

It's made of cold ice and snow
(pretend to shiver)

The inside is covered with blankets and fur
(spread hands over large area)

So it's warm when the winter winds blow.

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)

Homes

This is a nest for Mr. Bluebird
(cup both hands)

This is a hive for Mrs. Bee
(fists together)

This is a hole for bunny rabbit
(fingers make hole)

And this is a house for me
(finger tips together for a house with roof peak)
