ACTION RHYMES
Picked a Strawberry
(Tune: Clementine)
Picked a strawberry,
Picked a strawberry,
That was growing in the sun,
Then I washed it and I ate it,
And I picked another one.
Raspberry…
Blueberry…
Watermelon…
Any other fruit!
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!
Little Red Apple
A little red apple
Hung high in a tree
I looked up at it
And it looked down at me
“Come down, please,” I called
And what do you suppose?
That little red apple
Dropped right on my nose!
Soup’s On!
(Tune: “Sound Off”)
Carrots, beans, and potatoes
Corn and peas and tomatoes
Mix and stir up in a pot.
Smells so good as it gets hot!
Soup’s on—1, 2!
Soup’s on—3, 4!
1, 2, 3, 4
Let’s eat a good treat!
The Farmer Plants the Seeds
(Tune: “Farmer in the Dell”)
The farmer plants the seeds.
The farmer plants the seeds.
Hi ho the derry-o,
The farmer plants the seeds.
The rain begins to fall...
The sun begins to shine...
The seeds begin to grow…
The plants grow big and tall...
The farmer cuts his corn...
And now the harvest is on....
