Book read: Summer Song by Kevin Henkes

If You're a Bug and You Know It (modified "If you're happy and you know it)
If you're a bee and you know it buzz like this "buzz, buzz".
If you’re a bee and you know it buzz like this “buzz, buzz”.
If you’re a bee and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you’re a bee and you know it buzz like this “buzz, buzz”

Additional verses:
If you’re a grasshopper…hop like this…
If you’re a caterpillar… eat a leaf “chomp, chomp”…
If you’re a butterfly … flap your wings

Beach Balls (from Perry Public Library)
A little beach ball (make small circle with hands)
A bigger beach ball (make a bigger circle)
A great big beach ball (make even bigger circle)
Now let's count them.
Are you ready?
One, two three (make three circles again)
Throw the balls!

One little fish (from Jbrary)
One little fish,
Swimming in the water,
Swimming in the water,
Swimming in the water,
Bubble, bubble, bubble,
Pop, pop, pop!

We're Marching to the Beat (modified from Storytime Out Loud)
We're marching to the beat!
We're marching to the beat!
Hi-ho the derry-o,
We're marching to the beat!
Other actions can include shaking, jumping, clapping, etc.
