5 Little Astronauts

February 24, 2020 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

5 Little Astronauts

Five little astronauts, sitting on the stars
The first one said, “Let’s go to Mars!”
The second one said, “There are spaceships in the air!”
The third one said, “But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “Let’s fly up in the sky!”
The fifth one said, “Let’s fly, fly, fly!”
Then WHOOSH went the spaceship into the night 
And the five little astronauts zoomed out of sight!

Who Is the Astronaut?

February 24, 2020 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Who Is the Astronaut?

Who is the astronaut
With ears so long and funny?
She hops around the rocket ship.
She’s a little bunny!

Who is the astronaut
Jumping on a log?
“Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!”
It’s a little frog!

Who is the astronaut
With a long tail, of course?
“Neigh, neigh, neigh!”
It’s a little horse!

Who is the astronaut
With four legs and a horn?
We rarely ever see one.
It’s a little unicorn!

This rhyme is a guessing game. Pause after the third line each time to let children guess which animal is the astronaut.

February 24, 2020 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Have You Ever Seen a Baby?

(Tune: “Have You Ever Seen a Lassie?”)

Have you ever seen a baby,
A baby, a baby
Have you ever seen a baby
Fly this way and that?
This way and that way
And this way and that way
Have you ever seen a baby
Fly this way and that?

Have you ever seen a baby,
A baby, a baby,
Have you ever seen a baby
Fly up and down?
Fly up and down,
Fly up and down,
Have you ever seen a baby
Fly up and down?

Jump in the Rocket with actions

Jump in the Rocket

Jump in the rocket (bounce child on knee)
We’ll blast off soon!
We’re taking a trip up to the moon.
Up, up, up we climb (lift child higher and higher)
Up to the sky (hold child high in the air)
Isn’t it a lot of fun (bring child back down)
To be able to fly? (bounce child on knee)

Bend and Stretch

Bend and stretch, reach for the stars (arms up)
There goes Jupiter, here comes Mars (move arms side to side)
