The Man in the Moon

The man in the moon
Came down too soon
And asked his way to Norwich

He went by the south
And burnt his mouth
With supping cold plum porridge

The Man in the Moon

The man in the moon looked down from the moon
Looked down from the moon and said,
“Tis time for all children on the earth
To think about going to bed.”

10 Little Firefighters

Ten little firefighters sleeping in a row
Ding, ding goes the bell and down the pole they go.
Off on the engine, oh, oh, oh.
Using the big hose so, so, so.
When all the fire’s our, home so slow.
Back into bed, all in a row.

Tickle the Clouds

Tickle the clouds
Tickle your toes
Turn around and tickle your nose
Reach down low
And reach up high
Story time’s over —
Wave good-bye!

The words are pretty clear on the actions that go along with the rhyme.
This is a great rhyme for the end of a storytime or laptime

Variation: Change “Story time” to “Laptime”

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle twinkle little star
{Hold hands up about shoulder height. Open and close hands}
How I wonder what you are
{Raise shoulders and hold hands out}
Up above the world so high
{Raise hands high in the sky and open and close them again}
Like a diamond in the sky
{Form forefinger and thumb from each hand in a diamond shape}
Twinkle twinkle little star
{Hold hands up about shoulder height. Open and close hands}
How I wonder what you are
{Raise shoulders and hold hands out}
