Song/Rhymes/Bounces

You Ought to See My Baby
Baby-O
You ought to see my baby
My baby loves to bounce
And every time we sing this song
We bounce and bounce and bounce

Stretch
Roll
Clap

Hello!
Hello __________
Hello __________
Hello __________
We're glad you're here today!

Little Bear
Little Bear, in the tree
Sitting oh, so still
Won't you come out?
Yes he will!
He looks to the left
He looks to the right
He looks straight ahead
Then he POPS! out of sight

Old MacDonald Had a Farm
with puppets
Cow, pig, dog, duck, lamb

Roly-Poly
Roly-poly, roly-poly
Big, big, big
Roly-poly, roly-poly
Small, small, small
Roly-poly, roly-poly
Touch your toes
Roly-poly, roly-poly
Touch your nose
Roly-poly, roly-poly
Up to the sky
Roly-poly, roly-poly
Fly, fly, fly!

The Noble Duke of York
Baby-O

This is the Way
This is the way the lady rides
The lady rides, the lady rides
This is the way the lady rides
So early in the morning.

Gentleman (faster)
Farmer (side to side)
Ending with a "Boop!" and drop between adults knees.

Hey Diddle Diddle

Over in the Barnyard 
One-cut flannel
Over in the barnyard in the pen in the sun

Lived an old mother pig and her little piglet one

Oink said the mother, we oink said the one

So they oinked all day in the pen in the sun.

Over in the barnyard where the green grass grew

Lived an old mother horse and her little colts two.

Neigh said the mother, we neigh said the two

So they neighed all day where the green grass grew.

Over in the barnyard beneath the old oak tree

Lived an old mother sheep and her little lambs three

Baa said the mother, we baa said the three

So they baaed all day beneath the old oak tree.
