The Cat in the Hat
(tune: Addam's Family)

Cat in the hat (clap) clap! clap!
Cat in the hat clap! clap!
Cat in the hat
Cat in the hat
Cat in the hat clap! clap!

He causes so much fun
But when the fun is done
You will be the one
To send that cat away!

Repeat song using other actions such as stomp and jump

One Fish, Two Fish
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish,
Black fish, blue fish, old fish, new fish.
This one has a little car.
This one has a little star.
Say! What a lot of fish there are.

Enrichment Activities

Green Eggs (idea from here)
Children cracked open the green eggs to find the ONE that had a yellow yolk (yellow pom-pom).  The other eleven eggs have green "yolks".
