Five Fat Peas

Five fat peas in a pea pod pressed (children hold hand in a fist)

  One grew, two grew, so did all the rest. (put thumb and fingers up one by one)

  They grew and grew
 (raise hand in the air very slowly)

  And did not stop, Until one day

  The pod went POP! (children clap hands together)

Red and Sweet Watermelon

It's summertime

and it's really the time

to slurp the best

from the vine.

It's red and sweet,

It can't be beat!

It's watermelon!

What a treat!

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!

Ice Cream Fun

Five scoops of ice cream with sprinkles on top

I licked one scoop, and it went plop!

Continue in descending order until you get to one.

No scoops of ice cream on my cone,

I'm still hungry, so I'm going home!

Little Firecracker

To tune of: Little Teapot

I'm a little firecracker, nice and new

Here are my colors - red, white, and blue.

On July the 4th you'll hear me say,

Hip, hooray for the USA!

Let's go to the Beach

To tune of: A Hunting we will go!

Let's go to the beach
To swim and play and run.
Building castles in the sand
Is ever so much fun.

We'll fix a picnic lunch
And eat it when we like.
And when we all are nice and full
We'll take a nature hike.

 

Be sure to wear your suit
And bring along your float.
We'll ride so far out in the surf
Pretending it's a boat.

We'll find some pretty shells
And throw the gulls some bread.
Put on a lot of suntan oil
So that we don't turn red.

We'll never want to leave.
Such fun this all has been.
But we'll come back another day
And do it all again!

Tune: Farmer in the Dell


Oh, if you are wearing shorts,

If you are wearing shorts,

You may walk out the door,

If you are wearing shorts.

Additional Refrains:

Sandals, Tennis shoes, Flowers, a Sun Dress, a T-Shirt

I'm a Little Ice Cube

To the tune of: Little Teapot


I'm a Little Ice Cube,

Square and cold,

When I get warm,

I'll melt, I'm told.

Look, here comes the sun!

This won't be fun

Melting, melting- now I'm done!

Here are the Waves

Here are the waves, the waves in the sea
(Make wave motion with arms)

Here is the boat
(Cup hand to make boat)

And here is me
(With other hand, place finger in boat)

All the fishes down below
(wiggle fingers beneath the boat)

Wiggle their tails and away they go
(wiggle fingers then hide hands behind your back)

I'm Going Camping

I am going camping.
(point to self)

Time to pack
(look at watch)

My tent, my bedroll,
(Make tent with hands, then fold hands to cheek.)

And a snack.
(Pretend to eat)

I'll sit by the campfire
(warm hands over fire.)

Its glow so bright.
(wiggle fingers for fire.)

Then snooze in my tent
(Pretend to snore.)

'Til the morning light!
(Open eyes wide, forming sun over head.)

Five Little Seashells

Five little seashells sleeping on the shore
(Hold up 5 fingers, bending down one for each verse.)

Swish! went a big wave, and then there were four.
(Move arms, palms up, to make the waves.)
Four little seashells quiet as can be

Swish! went a big wave, and then there were three.
Three little seashells pearly and new
Swish! went a big wave, and then there were two.


Two little seashells having great fun
Swish! went a big wave, and then there was one.

One little seashell lying in the sun
Swish! went a big wave, and then there were none.

Five little seashells gone out to sea,
(Point out to sea.)
Wait until morning and they'll return to me.
(Point to self.)
