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!)
These Little Fingers
(tune: "The Wheels on the Bus")
These little fingers go wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
These little fingers go wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,And now they're on my _________.
With this song, the list of possibilities is endless! Our fingers may end up on baby's leg, nose, elbow, foot, ear, head, tummy, belly button, etc. And the actions can also be changed, so that our little fingers go tap-tap-tap, pat-pat-pat, rub-rub-rub, tickle-tickle-tickle, etc. Have fun with this one!
Activities:
A Flea on My Toe
On my toe there is a flea.
Now it's climbing past my knee,
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!
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.
