If you're happy and you know it

Stomping in the Sun (adapted from Librarian vs. Storytime)
We're stomping in the sun, (stomp feet)
We're stomping in the sun,
We can't go yet,
We're having fun!
We're stomping in the sun!
Other verses can include clapping, hopping, twirling, dancing, etc.

Put your hands up high (from 2016 CSLP Manual)
Put your hands up high,
Put your hands down low,
Put your hands to the side,
And wiggle just so.
Put your elbows to the front.
Put your elbows in back.
Put your elbows to the side,
And "Quack, Quack, Quack!" 

Everyone can shake (with shakers, modified from Jbrary)
Everyone can shake, shake, shake
Everyone can shake, shake, shake
Everyone can shake, shake, shake
And now it's time to stop.
Additional verses: 
Everyone can tap, Everyone can clap, Everyone can wave, etc.

Wheels on the Bus

Row, Row, Row Your Boat (with chute)

Craft:
We decorated a printable of puppets that could be used to sing "Old MacDonald".

Literacy tip of the week: Singing helps children recognize the different parts that make up words because different syllables fall on different beats.
