The Grand Old Duke of York
The grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them up to the top of the hill (lift baby in the air)
And he marched them down again (lower baby)
And when they're up, they're up. (lift baby's legs)
And when they're down their down. (lower baby's legs)
But when they're only halfway up (raise legs halfway)
They're neither up nor down.
Motorboat
Motorboat, motorboat, go so slow, (move baby's legs in a bicycling motion slowly)
Motorboat, motorboat, go so fast, (speed up the motion)
Motorboat, motorboat, step on the gas!

Tick tock, Tick tock, (rock baby back and forth)
I'm a little cuckoo clock.
Tick tock, Tick tock,
It's one o'clock! (lift baby once)
Tick tock, Tick tock,
I'm a little cuckoo clock.
Tick tock, Tick tock,
It's two o'clock! (lift baby twice)
Tick tock, Tick tock,
I'm a little cuckoo clock.
Tick tock, Tick tock,
It's three o'clock! (lift baby three times)
Wheels on the Bus
If you're happy and you know it
Literacy tip of the week:
When you read to your baby you do not have to read the words exactly as they are on the page. You can "read" the book by talking about the pictures. This can allow you to shorten the story to accommodate your baby's attention span.
