Bubbles
Hands Are Clapping
(Tune: London Bridges)
Hands are clapping
Clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap
Hands are clapping
Clap, clap, clap
Hands are clapping!
Clap, clap, clap
Hands are clapping!
Additional verses:
Toes are tapping… Tap, tap, tap
Eyes are hiding… peekaboo!
Eyes are hiding… peekaboo!
Puppet
Little Bear in the tree
Won’t you come out?
Yes, he will!
He looks to the left
He looks to the right
He looks straight ahead
Then pops out of sight!
Hello Song
(Tune: Good Night Ladies)
Hello ____, hello ____.
Hello ____, we’re glad you’re here today!
I usually have each parent/caregiver introduce themselves and their baby. Then we sing hello to the baby. However, we had such a big group we sang to three babies in each verse. The last verse had just one baby's name...so we sang hello everyone!
Trot, Trot
Trot, trot to Boston. Trot, trot to Lynn.

Watch out little baby, you might fall over!

In, in, in (bring hands together)
Roly-poly, roly-poly
Touch your nose
Roly-poly, roly-poly

Tick tock, tick tock (side to side)
Up I pop!Pat-a-Cake
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can!

Roll it and pat it and mark it with a "B"
And put it in the oven for baby and me!
Tickle the clouds (spoken)
Tickle the clouds
and tickle your toes
Clap your hands
and tickle your nose
Reach down low
And reach up high
Story time’s over —
Wave bye-bye!
and tickle your toes
Clap your hands
and tickle your nose
Reach down low
And reach up high
Story time’s over —
Wave bye-bye!
