Hello, Mr. Turkey

Hello, Mr. Turkey

Happy Birthday To You

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday, dear (name)
Happy birthday to you!

Here’s Our Little Pine Tree

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

Here’s our little pine tree,
Tall and straight
Let’s find the things
So we can decorate.
First we want to put
A star on top!
Then we must be careful
The balls don’t drop.

Hang on all the tinsel
Shiny and bright
Put on the canes
And hook them just right.
Finally put some presents
For you and for me.
And we’ll be ready
With our Christmas tree.

Here’s a Little Candle

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

Here’s a little candle dressed in white,
Wearing a hat of yellow light.
When the night is dark, then you will see
Just how bright this light can be.

Here’s a little candle straight and tall,
Shining it’s light upon us all.
When the night is dark, then you will see
Just how bright this light can be!

Here’s a little candle burning bright.
Keeping us safe all through the night.
When the nigh is dark, then you will see
Just how bright this light can be!

Here is the Chimney

Here is the Chimney
(Make a fist, enclose thumb)
Here is the top.
(Palm of hand on top of fist)
Open the lid.
(Remove hand quickly)
And out Santa will pop.
(Pop up thumb)

Head, shoulders, Knees and Toes

(Tune: “London Bridge is Falling Down”)

Head and shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes, Knees and toes
Head and shoulders, knees and toes
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose

Other tunes

Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes, Knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose

The Mouse and the Clock

Hickory, dickory, dock!
{Swing arm like the pendulum on a grandfather clock}
The mouse ran up the clock.
{Run fingers up your arm or up in the air}
The clock struck one
{Hold up 1 finger}
And down he run.
{Also said, “The mouse ran down”}
{Run fingers down your arm or down in the air}
Hickory, dickory dock!
{Swing arm like the pendulum on a grandfather clock}

The Cat and the Fiddle

Hey, diddle, diddle!
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed
To see such sport
And the dish ran away with the sppon.

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again

This one is great for bouncing newborns and infants on your lap.
With older children it’s fun practice saying “Humpty Dumpty”

Here is the Beehive

Tune: “Rock-a-bye Baby“

Here is the beehive
{hand in a fist}
Where are the bees?
{shrug shoulders}
Hidden inside
{point to fisted hand}
Where nobody sees
{shake head and wag finger in “no”}
Watch as the bees
Come out of the hive
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
{open fist one finger at a time till all 5 are showing}

Then tickle your child. This is a great one for all ages and helps build anticipation in the littlest ones.
