Puppy’s Nap
This is a puppy ready for a nap,
(Hold up one finger)
Lay him down in a loving lap.
(Place finger in palm of other hand)
Pet his fur while he settles down
(stroke palm of hand)
All the way from tail to crown
(stroke all the way up to the fingertips)
Cover him up so he won’t peep,
(Wrap other hand around the finger)
Rock him ‘til he’s fast asleep.
(Rock finger back and forth)
Before I Go to Bed
(tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
Before I go to bed, I take a bath.
Splash, splash, splash, splash, splash, splash
Before I go to bed, I take a bath.
Splash, splash, splash
I brush my teeth… (make scrubbing sound)
I read a book…Once upon a time
I give a kiss… (make kissing sound)
I whisper goodnight…Nighty-night, night
Big Yellow Moon
Big yellow moon shines so bright,
(circle overhead)
Glides across the starry night
(arms left to right)
Looks down at me
(hand shades eyes)
Asleep in bed,
(head on hands)
Whispers, “Good night sleepyhead.”
(shh)
Big yellow moon, your turn is done
(move arms down)
Here comes Mr. Morning Sun
(circle overhead)
I wake up.
(arms stretch out)
You go to bed.
(head on hands)
“Sleep well, Moon, you sleepyhead.”
(shh)
Tired Little Puppies
Said this little puppy: “I’m as tired as can be”
(hold up one finger)
Said this little puppy: “My eyes can hardly see”
(hold up two fingers)
Said this little puppy: “I’d like to go to bed”
(hold up three fingers)
Said this little puppy: “I want to rest my head”
(hold up four fingers)
Said this little puppy: “Come climb the stairs with me”
(hold up five fingers)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 they tiptoed up
(fold down one finger for each number)
Just as still as still could be
