Nursery Rhymes, Songs, and Fingerplays for Kids
All around the mulberry bush (or cobbler’s bench)
The monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought ’twas all in good fun,
Pop! goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle—
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
Jimmy’s got the whooping cough
And Timmy’s got the measles
That’s the way the story goes
Pop! goes the weasel.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked?
One, two, buckle my shoe;
Three, four, knock at the door;
Five, six, pick up sticks;
Seven, eight, lay them straight;
Nine, ten, a good fat hen;
Eleven, twelve, dig and delve;
Thirteen, fourteen, maids a-courting;
Fifteen, sixteen, maids a-kissing;
Seventeen, eighteen, maids a-waiting;
Nineteen, twenty, I’ve had plenty.

I have a little robot
His name is Scott the Bot
He likes to eat cookies
And bakes them up a lot.
He baked them up one morning
And took them to the park
He gave them to his friends
And stayed till it was dark!
{Child’s Name} will you stand up
And let us see your smile?
We’re glad you’re here today
Won’t you stay awhile!
This is great for a small group where you know everyone’s name. Everyone sits in a circle so each person’s face is visible to the rest of the group. It works best for children who are not shy or scared to be recognized in a group. With children who are familiar with each other, they often stand up and run around the outside of the circle to show their smile.
Bumpin’ up and down in my little red wagon
Bumpin’ up and down in my little red wagon
Bumpin’ up and down in my little red wagon
Won’t you be my darlin’
One wheel’s off and the wagon’s draggin’
One wheel’s off and the wagon’s draggin’
One wheel’s off and the wagon’s draggin’
Won’t you be my darlin’
Other wheel’s off and the wagon’s draggin’
Other wheel’s off and the wagon’s draggin’
Other wheel’s off and the wagon’s draggin’
Won’t you be my darlin’
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a large field of grass.
We can’t go over it
We can’t go under it
We’ll have to go through it
Swish swish swish
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a river.
We can’t go under it
We can’t go around it
We’ll have to swim through it
Swim swim swim
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a tree (or mountain)
We can’t go around it
We can’t go through it
We’ll have to climb up it
Climb climb climb
Down down down
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a cave.
We can’t go over it
We can’t go under it
We’ll have to go in it
Tiptoe tiptoe
I see a shiny nose and two eyes
It’s a bear!
Run out of the cave
Run run run
Climb up the tree (mountain)
Climb down the tree (mountain)
Run run run
Swim through the river
Run run run
Run through the grass
Run run run
Open the door
Shut the door
Run upstairs and
Jump in bed
We’re safe!
Toe Knee Chest Nut
Nose Eye love you
Toe Knee Nose
Toe Knee Nose
Toe Knee Chest Nut
Nose Eye love you
That’s what
Toe Knee knows
Once There Was a Snowman
Snowman, snowman
Once There Was a Snowman
Tall, tall, tall.
In the sun he melted
melted, melted
In the sun he melted
small, small, small.
