"Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site" by Sherri Duskey Rinker
“As the sun sets behind the big construction site, all the hardworking trucks get ready to say goodnight. One by one, Crane Truck, Cement Mixer, Dump Truck, Bulldozer, and Excavator finish their work and lie down to rest — so they'll be ready for another day of rough and tough construction play!”

BOUNCE RHYME (bounce along with child in lap)
Brick by Brick
Brick by brick by brick by brick.
My building’s so high it’s scraping the sky.
(lift child up high)
Brick by brick by brick by brick.
My building will sway when the wind blows this way.
(sway with child to the left and then right)
Brick by brick by brick by brick.
Now I’m ready to stop and a flag goes on top.
(raise child’s arm and wave)
ACTION RHYMES
Carpenter’s Song
(tune: The Mulberry Bush)
This is the way we pound our nails, pound our nails, pound our nails,
This is the way we pound our nails, so early in the morning.
This is the way we saw our wood…
This is the way we twist a screwdriver…
Stack the bricks…
Paint the walls…
Scoop and Dump
(Tune: “Skip To My Lou”)
Scoop! goes ditch digger in the dirt.
(Bend low, raise arms high)
Scoop! goes ditch digger in the dirt.
Scoop! goes ditch digger in the dirt.
Scoop up all the dirt!
Reach up high with the crane.
(Cup hands, hold high)
Reach up high with the crane.
Reach up high with the crane.
Hold the dirt up high!
Dump the dirt into the truck.
(Reach high, drop hands to knees)
Dump the dirt into the truck.
Dump the dirt into the truck.
Haul it all away!
Old MacDonald Had Some Tools
Old MacDonald had some tools, E-I-E-I-O.
And with those tools he had a hammer, E-I-E-I-O.
With a bang, bang, here and a bang, bang, there.
Here a bang, there a bang, everywhere a bang, bang,
Old MacDonald had some tools, E-I-E-I-O.
A saw… with a see-saw here…
A wrench… with a turn-turn here…
A drill… with a ZZZZ-ZZZZ here…

(hammer with two fists)
Two hammers, two hammers.
Johnny works with two hammers,
Now Johnny works with three.
Johnny works with three hammers,
(hammer with two fists and one foot)
Three hammers, three hammers.
Johnny works with three hammers,
Johnny works with four.
Johnny works with four hammers,
(hammer with two fists and two feet)
Four hammers, four hammers.
Johnny works with four hammers,
Johnny works with five.
Johnny works with five hammers,
(hammer with two fists, two feet, nod head)
Five hammers, five hammers.
Johnny works with five hammers,
Johnny's work is DONE!
