Once I Caught a Fish Alive
One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right
(wiggle their little finger)
ACTION RHYMES
Dino-Pokey
(Tune: The Hokey Pokey)
You put your claws in,
You take your claws out,
You put your claws in,
And you scratch 'em all about.
You do the dino pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
horns in... shake them all about
teeth in... chomp them all about
feet in... stomp them all about
tail in... swing it all about
School Song
(Tune: "Polly Wolly Doodle")
Oh I go to school to learn and play
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh I go to school to learn and play
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well, dear mom/Dad today!
For I go to school to learn and play
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
At My School
(Tune: "London Bridge")
I like to paint and build with blocks
Build with blocks, build with blocks
I like to paint and build with blocks
At my scho-ol!
I like to sing and model clay…
I like to ride the trikes and swing….
Five Little Gingerbread Men
Five little gingerbread men in a row
Not going to eat one no, no, no.
(shake finger and head side to side)
But they look so sweet from head to toe
Crunch, munch...uh oh!
Four little gingerbread men…
Three little gingerbread men…
Two little gingerbread men…
One little gingerbread man…
No little gingerbread men in a row
Wasn't going to eat one, no, no, no
But they looked so sweet that it's sad to tell
Crunch, munch... oh well!
Oh I Want to Be a Great Big Dinosaur
(Tune: “I Wish I Were an Oscar Mayer Weiner”)
Oh I want to be a great big dinosaur,
That is what I really want to be!
For if I were a great big dinosaur,
Everyone would run away from me. . .
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
stomp away from me
wiggle away from me
tiptoe away from me
