OPENING AND CLOSING SONGS
When Cows Get Up in the Morning

When cows get up in the morning,
They always say hello.
When cows get up in the morning,
They always say hello.
And what do they say? Mooooooo
And that is what they say.
(Repeat with any animals you like!)
Where Is My Friend
Where, oh where, is my friend ___?
Come and read with us!
Open Shut Them (Ms. Eileen Version)
(Insert child's name.)
Open, shut them,
Open, shut them,
Give a little clap, clap clap!
Open, shut them,
Open, shut them,
Put them in your lap, lap, lap!
Creep them, crawl them,

Creep them, crawl them,
Right up to your chin, chin, chin!
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in, in, in!
Falling, falling, falling to the ground.

Lift them up again,
And turn them round and round!
Give a little clap,
And put them in your lap.

5 green and speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum... yum...
1 jumped into the pool,

Where it was nice and cool,
Now there are 4 green speckled frogs!
Repeat, decreasing number.
Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy bitsy spider,
Went up the water spout.
Down came the rain,
Fishy Song And washed the spider out!
One little red fish, Out came the sun,
Swimming in the water, And dried up all the rain,
Swimming in the water, And the itsy bitsy spider,
Swimming in the water. Went up the spout again.
One little red fish, (Repeat with variations:

Swimming in the water, Great, big spider...

All down her back, back, back. ____!
She asked her mother, mother, mother, (Insert your favorite word.

To see the elephant, elephant, elephant, ...loud as we can.
Jump over the fence, fence, fence. ...slow as we can.

He jumped so high, high, high, ...high as we can.
He reached the sky, sky, sky, ...low as we can.
And never came back, back, back, ...nice as we can.)
Till the Fourth of July, July, July.
The Monkey
I had a little monkey,
I called him Sonny Jim,
I put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim;
He drank up all the water,

He ate up all the soap,
He lay down on the bath mat
Blowing bubbles from his throat.
Mommy, Mommy, I feel ill,

Call the doctor down the hill.
In came the doctor, in came the nurse,
In came the lady with the alligator purse.
Measles said the doctor,

Mumps said the the nurse,
Hiccups said the lady with the alligator purse.
Out went the doctor, out went the nurse,

Out went the lady with the alligator purse!
Way Up High in the Apple Tree
Way up high in the apple tree
(Stretch both arms above your head, hands open)
Two little apples smiled at me
(Close hands into fists)
I shook that tree as hard as I could
(Shake the tree)
Down came the apples
(Bring fists down)
Mmmm, they were good!
(Rub stomach)
(Repeat with other fruit trees.)

Annie Works with One Hammer
Annie works with one hammer,
One hammer, one hammer.
(Right hand up and down with fist clenched)
Annie works with one hammer,
Then she works with two.
Annie works with two hammers,

Two hammers, two hammers.
(Add left hand up and down alternating)
Annie works with two hammers,
Then she works with three.
Annie works with three hammers, My Dog Rags

Three hammers, three hammers. I have a dog,and his name is Rags.
(Right foot joins in up and down motion) He eats so much that his tummy sags,
Annie works with three hammers, His ears flip-flop,
Then she works with four. And his tail wig-wags,
And when he walks he goes zig-zag
Annie works with four hammers,
Four hammers, four hammers. Chorus:
(Left foot joins in up and down motion) He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag
Annie works with four hammers, He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag,
Then she works with five. He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag
I love Rags and he loves me.
Annie works with five hammers, I love Rags and he loves me.
Five hammers, five hammers.
(Head goes in up and down motion) My dog Rags he loves to play
Annie works with five hammers, He rolls around in the mud all day.
Then she goes to sleep. I whistle but he won't obey,
(Closed eyes, head resting on two joined hands!) He always runs the other way.
