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)

Little Plant

In the heart of a seed
buried down so deep
(make a fist)

A little plant
lay fast asleep
Awake said the sun
(make large circle over head wth arms)
Come up through the earth

Awake said the rain
(flutter fingertips down)
We're giving you birth

The little plant heard
(open hand, turn fingers upward, raise arm slowly)
with a happy sigh,
and pointed its petals
up to the sky.

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)

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.

Rock-A-Bye Baby

Rock-a-bye Baby
(fold arms and rock)

On the treetop

When the wind blows

The cradle will rock

When the bough breaks
(bend forward)

The cradle will fall
(open arms)

And down will come baby
(drop arms into lap)

Cradle and All.
