Rain

Rain, rain go away
Little Sammi wants to play
Rain, rain go away
Come again some other day

Switch out Sammi for your child’s name. Little ones love hearing their name in a song or rhyme. They feel very special. They are also more attentive because it connects to them personally.

The Pumpkin Eater

Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater
Had a wife and couldn’t keep her
Put her in a pumpkin shell
And there he kept her very well.

I’m a Little Squirrel

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

I’m a little squirrel, fuzzy and gray
When fall comes, I gather nuts all day
So that when the winter comes, you see,
I’ll have food for my family and me.

5 Little Squirrels in a Tree

Five little squirrels are sitting in a tree
The first squirrel said, “These nuts are for me.”
The second squirrel said, “I like to eat!”
The third squirrel said, “Nuts are a treat.”
The fourth squirrel said, “Do you want some?”
The fifth squirrel said, “You may have one.”

The five little squirrels went bob, bob, bob.
{jump}
The five little squirrels went nod, nod, nod.
{nod head}
The five little squirrels went patter, patter, patter.
{wiggle}
The five little squirrels went chatter, chatter, chatter.
{open and close fingers in a talking motion}
The five little squirrels scolded you and me
{shake head and wag finger}
As they sat and ate the nuts on the big, tall tree.
{pretend to eat nuts}
