Wake up Toes

Wake up toes, wake up toes.
Wake up toes with a wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
Wake up toes, wake up toes.
Wake up and wiggle in the morning.
*Try waking up different body parts like hands and ears.

These are Baby’s Fingers

These are baby’s fingers,
These are baby’s toes,
This is baby’s belly button,
Round and round it goes!

Open Them, Shut Them

Open them, shut them, open them, shut them,
Give a little clap – clap – clap!
Open them, shut them, open them, shut them,
Lay them in your lap – lap – lap!
Then creep them, creep them, slowly creep them,
Right up to your chin – chin – chin!
Open up your little mouth…but do not let them in!

Open them, shut them, open them, shut them,
Give a great big squeeze!
Open them, shut them, open them, shut them,
Glue them to your knees – knees – knees!

Hi, Hello and How Are You?

Hi, hello and how are you?
How are you? How are you?
Hi, hello and how are you?
How are you today?

On My Toe There is a Flea

On my toe there is a flea, Now it’s climbing up on me, Past my tummy, past my nose, On my head where my hair grows. On my head there is a flea, Now it’s climbing down on me, Past my tummy, past my knee, On my toe – take that you flea! *flick*

Wiggle Fingers, Wiggle So

Wiggle fingers, wiggle so, Wiggle them high, wiggle them low, Wiggle them left, wiggle them right, Wiggle those fingers right out of sight!  
 
Round and Round the Garden Round and round the garden, Like a teddy bear. 1 step – 2 step – tickle you under there! *Try this song on both hands. Round and round the hay stack, Goes a little mousey. 1 step – 2 step – in their little housey!
Crocodile Song Here’s Mr. Crocodile moving through air, And if you get too close to him… He’ll gobble up your hair! Here’s Mrs. Crocodile she’s moving through the sea, And if you get too close to her… She’ll gobble up your knee! Here is the Crocodile, they’re moving through the sand, And if you get too close to them… They’ll gobble up your hand!

Count Your Piggies

This little piggy went to market, This little piggy stayed home, This little piggy had roast beef, And this little piggy had none, And this little piggy went: Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, all the way home!
This little piggy had watermelon, This little piggy had cheese, This little piggy had blueberries, And this little piggy had peas, And this little piggy went: Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, all the way home!

Slowly, Slowly Snail

Slowly, slowly, very slowly, Goes the garden snail. Slowly, slowly, very slowly, Up the garden trail. Quickly, quickly, very quickly, Goes a little mouse. Quickly, quickly, very quickly, In their little house!

Elevator Song

Oh the city of great, and the city is grand, There’s whole lot of people, on a little piece of land. They live way up on the 37th floor, And this is what they do when they go out the door: We take the elevator up, we take the elevator down, We take the elevator up, we take the elevator down, We take the elevator up, we take the elevator down, And we turn around!

 

Grand Old Duke of York

Oh the grand old Duke of York, He had 10,000 men, He marched them up to the top of the hill, And he marched them down again, And when they were up, they were up, And when they were down, they were down, And when they were only half-way up, They were neither up nor down! He marched them to the left, He marched them to the right, He marched them all around the town, And he marched them out of sight! Zoom, Zoom, Zoom Zoom, zoom, zoom, we’re going to the moon, Zoom, zoom, zoom, we’ll get there very soon, If you’d like to take a trip, Climb aboard my rocket ship, Zoom, zoom, zoom, we’re going to the moon, In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – Blast off!

We’re Going Down a Smooth Road

We’re going down a smooth road,
A smooth road, a smooth road,
We’re going down a smooth road,
A smooth road now.

We’re going down a bumpy road,
A bumpy road, a bumpy road,
We’re going down a bumpy road,
A bumpy road now.

We’re going down a windy road,
A windy road, a windy road,
We’re going down a windy road,
A windy road now.

We’re going down a rough road,
A rough road, a rough road,
We’re going down a rough road,
Oh! Pot hole!
