Songs/Rhymes

First, the songs that didn't really go over very well...

Picking the Fruit
(some toddlers were really good at waiting their turn, but others just wanted to take all the fruit down--of course it was harder when the teacher wasn't helping!)

Picking the [fruit] and putting it in the basket
Picking the [fruit] and putting it in the basket
Picking the [fruit] and putting it in the basket
Yummy fruit to eat!

I Like to Eat!
(I had two children choose a food clip art, then we'd sing...  It wasn't bad, but not great)

I like to eat, eat, eat
______________ on my ________________
I like to eat, eat, eat
______________ on my ________________

When I was assigned one more outreach visit for the month I decided to try a few different songs.

Jelly on My Head

(touch parts on the body)

Jelly on my head, jelly on my toes
Jelly on my shirt, jelly on my nose
Jelly on my belly, jelly’s the best food
And when I’m in a jelly mood

I just can’t get enough
Of that yummy, yummy stuff!

Nursery Rhymes

Do You Know the Muffin Man?

(children choose a food clipart and then we'd sing about another food man)

Pease Porridge Hot

Pat-a-cake

We also sang a random song or two...
