Playmates

Playmates (Begin with closed fists) 

From a window in this house

 (open one fist, fingers point up) 

From a window in this house
  (other fist open, fingers point up)

  Playmates wave at each other
  (close fists, then thumbs wag at each other)

  They jump
  (hands go up and down quickly) 

And have such fun!
  (hands together and clap)

Summertime!

To tune of : Jingle Bells

Summertime, summertime
It is so much fun!
Playing in our backyard
in the summer sun!
Splash with friends in the pool,
We have such a blast!
It's too bad that summertime
has to go so fast!

The Beach

To tune of: London Bridge

We are going to the beach,
to the Beach, to the beach,
We are going to the beach,
in our bathing suits.

We will find there rocks and shells,
Rocks and shells, Rocks and Shells.
We will find there rocks and shells,
to gather by the water.

We will build a sand castle,
Sand castle, sand castle,
we will build a sand castle,
with bridges and a tower.

We will have a picnic too,
picnic too, picnic too,
We will have a picnic too,
With Sandwiches and oranges.

Home we head with Sunburned Cheeks,
Sunburned Cheeks, Sunburned Cheeks,
Home we head with sunburned Cheeks,
and treasures from our visit.

Sandcastle Song

To tune of: Frere Jacques

Make a sand cake,
Make a castle
In the sand,
In the sand.
Pouring, measuring, digging,
Pouring, measuring, digging
Just feels grand
Just feels grand.

Panda Play

Panda play. Panda Play.
Play all night. Play all day.

I love to tumble on the ground.
Over and over, round and round.

On my belly, I'm going to slide.
Through the snow. What a ride!

Played so hard. Time to eat.
Sit down and chew a bamboo treat.

On all fours, walking to and fro.
Kind of clumsy, kind of slow.

Never move faster than a slow trot.
Don't ask me to run, I can not.

Panda play. Panda Play.
Play all night. Play all day.

I love to play in the Sand Box

I love to play in the sand box.
I love to play in the dirt.
I love to play in the wet mud.
I squish it and watch it squirt.

3 Little Ladybugs

One little ladybug
(hold up one finger)
With spots on its wings

Landed right beside me
(tap sides)

As I played on the swings
(sway forward and backward)

Two little Lady Bugs
(hold up two fingers)

Flew around a flower,
(move two fingers in a circle)

Then crawled beneath a leaf
(children cup one hand over two fingers)

To nap for half an hour.
(children lay their heads on their hands)

I go to Work

I go to work
(wave goodbye)

Each and every day
I work hard
(pretend to work)

And then I play.
(pretend to play)

Two Puppies

Two little puppy dogs
(hold up two fingers)

Lying fast asleep,
(place head on hands)

Soft and wooly,
All in a heap,

Along came a little kitten
(tip-toe)

Creeping near, "Meow",
She cried right in their ear,
(cover ears)

Two little puppy dogs
(hold up two fingers)
After one cat,

(Did you ever play tag like that?)

Building a Snowman

I will build a snowman
(pretend to make a snowman)

Make him big and tall)
(pretend to pile up snowballs)

See if you can hit him

With a big snowball.
(make and throw a snowball)

Digging in the Dirt

Ten little doggies went out one day
(hold 10 fingers up)

To dig in the dirt and play, play, play.
(Pretend to dig like a dog with both hands)

Five were spotted, and five were not,
(Hold up one hand at a time)

and at dinner time they ate a lot!
(Pretend to eat)

Rain, rain go away

Rain, rain go away,

Come again another day.

Little (name of child) wants to play.

Rain, rain go away.
