Dinosaurs

(Tune: “Row Your Boat“)

Dinosaurs, dinosaurs
Eating fruits and leaves
Take a bite and chew it up
And spit out all the seeds.

Good Night Dinosaur

May 7, 2015 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Good Night Dinosaur!

One little dinosaur
Was sent to bed.
He stomped his feet,
And he shook his head!

Two big dinosaurs
Said, “No, no, no!”
I want to stay up,
I will not go!”

Three loving dinosaurs
Hugged each other tight.
They gave a big kiss
And said “Good Night!”

Actions for Good Night Dinosaur!

One little dinosaur (hold up one finger)
Was sent to bed. (place hands beneath cheek as if asleep)
He stomped his feet, (stomp feet)
And he shook his head! (shake head)

Two big dinosaurs (hold up two fingers)
Said, “No, no, no!” (shake finger)
I want to stay up, (cross arms)
I will not go!” (shake head)

Three loving dinosaurs (hold up three fingers)
Hugged each other tight. (hug self)
They gave a big kiss (making kissing sound)
And said “Good Night!” (place hands beneath cheek as if asleep)

There Once Was a Turtle

May 7, 2015 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

There Once Was a Turtle

There once was a turtle who lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle and he climbed on some rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito, he snapped at a flea,
He snapped at a minnow and he snapped at me!
He caught the mosquito, he caught the flea,
He caught the minnow
BUT HE DIDN’T CATCH ME!

2 Little Friends

April 2, 2015 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Two Little Friends

One little friend came to school one day.
He went to the blocks and began to play.
A second little friend said, “Can I play, too?”
The first little friend said, “I’ll share with you!”
So they worked together and built a big town.
And when they were finished, they knocked it down!

Actions for Two Little Friends

One little friend came to school one day.
(hold up index finger)
He went to the blocks and began to play.
(bob hand to indicate movement)
A second little friend said, “Can I play, too?”
(hold up second index finger and wiggle it)
The first little friend said, “I’ll share with you!”

So they worked together and built a big town.
(wiggle both fingers)
And when they were finished, they knocked it down!
(clap hands together)

I’m a Puff of Wind

Just watch me blow.

You can see me working in the sky,
Making all the clouds float by.
