OPEN, SHUT THEM Open, shut them, open them

Give a little clap.

Open, shut them, open them

Lay them in your lap.

Creep them, creep them,

Creep them, creep them,

Right up to your chin.

Open wide your little mouth

But...Do not let them in!

A child who has fun with rhymes, songs and books will grow up lov-ing reading and words. This posi-tive attitude will help your child to get ready to read.

Miss Polly Had a Dolly

Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick.

So she phoned for a doctor to be quick, quick,

quick.

The doctor came with his bag and his hat,

And he knocked on the door with a rat-a-tat-tat

He looked at the dolly and he shook his head

And he said, “Miss Polly, put her straight to

bed!”

He wrote on the paper for a pill, pill pill,

“I’ll be back in the morning, yes I will, will, will.”

Incy Wincy Spider

Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the water spout.

Down came the rain and washed poor Incy out.

Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain,

So Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the spout again.

You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

You'll never know dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

TEDDY BEAR’S PICNIC

If you go down to the woods today

You’re sure of a big surprise.

If you go down to the woods today

You’d better go in disguise!

For every bear that ever there was

Will gather there for certain because

Today’s the day

The teddy bears have their picnic.

FIVE FAT SAUSAGES

Five fat sausages frying in the pan

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle

And one went BANG!

Four fat sausages…

Three fat sausages…

Two fat sausages…

One fat sausage…

And there were NO more sausages

Sizzling in the pan!

It is important to sing with young children be-

cause singing slows down language so that children can hear the

smaller sounds in words. This skill helps children get ready to

learn to read.

Mooliabeenee We’re going to Mooliabeenee

We’re going to the fair

To see an orange farmer

With blossoms in her hair

Shake it, shake it, shake it

Shake it like you care

Shake it like a milkshake

And shake it everywhere

Shake it to the bottom

And shake it to the top

Now turn around and turn around

Until you make a stop!

S-T-O-P spells stop!

5 Little Speckled Frogs

Five little speckled frogs, sat on a speckled log.

Eating some most delicious bugs, yum yum.

One jumped into the pool,

Where it was nice and cool.

Then there were four green speckled frogs, glug

glug.

Four little speckled frogs…

Three little speckled frogs…

Two little speckled frogs…

One little speckled frog.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream.

Rock, rock, rock your boat

Gently down the stream.

If you see a crocodile,

Don’t forget to scream.

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the creek

If you see a little mouse

Don’t forget to squeak

Row, row, row your boat

Gently to the shore.

If you see a lion there,

Don’t forget to roar.

Row, row, row your boat,

Gentle down the river.

If you see a polar bear,

Don’t forget to shiver.

Row, row, row your boat

Gently out to sea.

If you see a mermaid,

Give her a kiss from me.

Hickory Dickory Dock,

The mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck one,

The mouse ran down!

Hickory Dickory Dock.

Hickory Dickory Dock,

The mouse ran up the clock,

The clock struck two 2,

The mouse said ‘Boo!’,

Hickory Dickory Dock.

Hickory Dickory Dock,

The mouse ran up the clock,

The clock struck three 3,

The mouse said ’Wee!’

Hickory Dickory Dock.

Hickory Dickory Dock,

The mouse ran up the clock,

The clock struck four 4,

The mouse said ‘No more!’

Hickory Dickory Dock.

Old MacDonald Had A Farm

Old Macdonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

And on that farm he had a DOG, E-I-E-I-O

With a woof, woof here

And a woof, woof there

Here a woof, there a woof

Everywhere a woof, woof

Old Macdonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

...had a sheep...baa, baa…

...had a cow...moo, moo…

...had a pig...oink, oink…

...had a duck...quack, quack...

A Home Among The Gum Trees

I’ve been around the world

A couple of times, or maybe more

I’ve seen the sights, I’ve had delights

On every foreign shore

But when my friends all ask me

The place that I adore

I tell them right away

Give me a home amongst the gum trees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two and a kangaroo

Clothesline out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

The Wheels On The Bus

The wheels on the bus

Go round and round.

Round and round, round and round

The wheels on the bus

go round and round,

All day long!

Wipers go swish swish swish

Horn goes beep beep beep

People go bump bump bump

Babies go wah wah wah

Mummies go shh shh shh

Teddy Bear

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around,

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch the ground,

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, reach up high

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, wink one eye,

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, slap your knees,

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, sit down please.

I’m A Little Tea Pot

I’m a little tea pot, short and stout.

Here is my handle, here is my spout.

When I get all steamed up, hear me shout,

Tip me over, pour me out.

I’m a clever tea pot, yes it’s true.

Here let me show you what I can do.

I can change my handle, and my spout.

Just tip me over and pour me out.

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb.

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went,

And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day, school one day, school one day,

It followed her to school one day, which was against the rules.

It made the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play.

It made the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school.

I TOOK A WALK

I took a walk to town one day

I met a cat along the way

What do you think I heard it say?

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Duck—Quack! Quack! Quack!

Sheep—Baa! Baa! Baa!

Pig—Oink! Oink! Oink!

Twinkle Twinkle

Twinkle twinkle little star,

How I wonder what are you.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are.

If You’re Happy And You Know It

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!

If you’re happy and you know it then you really

ought to show it.

If you’re happy and you know it,

clap your hands

...have a cuddle…

...wave goodbye...
