Book:
Barney Plays Nose to Toes by Margie Larsen and Mary Ann Dudko
Songs:
Hello Friends!
(tune: "Goodnight Ladies")
Hello friends.
Hello friends.
Hello friends.
We're glad you came today!
(After singing the song I invite an adult to introduce him/herself and their child. We repeat the song, substituting the child's name for the word "friends". We do this until everyone has been introduced and all the children have been serenaded!)
The Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round,
'round and 'round, 'round and 'round.
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round,
All through the town.
Suggestions for additional verses:
The people on the bus go up and down...
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep...
The babies on the bus say, "I want a hug"...
Activities:
Beanbags: Today we enjoyed playing with beanbags! Tossing them in the air, piling them up - (and knocking them over!), using them to cover our eyes when playing Peek-a-Boo, talking about their color and shape, counting them, balancing them on our head, our shoulders, our knees... There are sooo many ways to play with beanbags!
Where Are Baby's Fingers?
Where, oh where are Baby's fingers?
Where, of where are Baby's toes?
Where is Baby's belly button?
'Round and 'round it goes.
Where, oh where are Baby's ears?
Where, oh where is Baby's nose?
Where is Baby's belly button?
'Round and 'round it goes.
Popcorn!
Pop! Pop! Pop!
(clap in rhythm each time you say "pop")
Pour the corn into the pot.
(rub palms of hands together briskly)
Pop! Pop! Pop!
(clap in rhythm each time you say "pop")
Take and shake it 'til it's hot.
(rub palms of hands together)
Pop! Pop! Pop!
(clap in rhythm each time you say "pop")
Lift the lid. What have you got?
(rub palms of hands together)
Pop... pop... pop...
(clap in rhythm each time you say "pop")
POPCORN!
(raise arms or lift baby gently into the air!)
Our Hands Say Goodbye
Our hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap.
Our feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap.
Clap, clap, clap,
Tap, tap, tap.
We roll our hands around and say... "Let's do it again!"
Our hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap.
Our feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap.
Clap, clap, clap,
Tap, tap, tap.
We roll our hands around and say... "Goodbye!"
