G-R-E-E-N
You take some yellow, you take some blue
You mix them together to make something new
G-R-E-E-N

And green is that color!

You take some yellow, you take some blue
You mix them together to make something new

And green is that color!

My Darling Goldfish
(sung to: The Grand Old Duke of York)

My darling little goldfish (make sign for fish)
Hasn't any toes (point to your toes)
He swims around without a sound (pretend to swim)
And bumps his angry nose (point to nose)
He can't get out to play with me (Point to your self)
Nor I get in to him (Point to other children)
Although I say, "Come out and play" (motion hand for him to come)
He says, "Come in and swim!" (point down)


Little Bo Peep
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home
Wagging their tails behind them.
