Dog Loves Fairy Tales by Louise Yates

Friend of Mine (to the tune of "Mary Had A Little Lamb", from Kelly's Kindergarten)
Will you be a friend of mine, friend of mine, friend of mine?
Will you be a friend of mine and (insert action) around with me?

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 arms in the air)
And he marched them down again (touch ground)
And when they're up, they're up. (lift arms)
And when they're down they're down. (touch ground)
But when they're only halfway up (raise hands halfway)
They're neither up nor down. (reach up then down)

The more we get together

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Literacy tip of the week: Don't worry about how your voice sounds when you sing. You are your child's best teacher and music is an important way to share and learn together.

Llama Llama Mess Mess Mess by Anna Dewdney

Did you ever see a Llama? (to the tune of "Did you ever see a Lassie?")

Did you ever see a llama walk this way and that?

If you're messy and you know it

This Is The Way (from Mel's Desk)
This is the way we wash our arms,
Wash our arms, wash our arms.
This is the way we wash our arms,
When we're in the bathtub.
(repeat using legs, tummy, head, etc)

Clap, Clap, Clap (to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat, from Perry Public Library)
Clap, clap, clap your hands, clap them now with me,
Clap your hands, let me see,
Clap them now with me!
(other verses: tap your knees, shake your feet, touch your shoulders)

The Wheels on the Bus
