Noisy Wind

Noisy Wind

(Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell“)

I like the noisy wind,
I like the noisy wind.
It roars and mutters
And shakes the shutters.
I like the noisy wind.

I like the noisy wind,
I like the noisy wind.
It flaps the flag
And rustles my bag.
I like the noisy wind.

Actions for Noisy Wind

I like the noisy wind,
I like the noisy wind.
It roars and mutters
(voice loud, then softer)
And shakes the shutters.
(Jazz hands)
I like the noisy wind.

I like the noisy wind,
I like the noisy wind.
It flaps the flag
(flap your arms back and forth)
And rustles my bag.
(Rub hands together briskly)
I like the noisy wind.

I’m a Friendly Snowman

I’m a Friendly Snowman

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

I’m a friendly snowman big and fat.
Here is my tummy and here is my hat.
I’m a happy fellow, here’s my nose.
I’m all snow from my head to my toes.
I have two bright eyes so I can see.
All the snow falling down on me.
When the weather’s cold I’m strong and tall.
But when it’s warm I get very small.

Actions for I’m a Friendly Snowman

I’m a friendly snowman big and fat.
(stretch arms out to sides)
Here is my tummy and here is my hat.

I’m a happy fellow, here’s my nose.
(smile, then point to nose)
I’m all snow from my head to my toes.
(point to head, then to toes)
I have two bright eyes so I can see.
(point to eyes)
All the snow falling down on me.
(flutter fingers downward)
When the weather’s cold I’m strong and tall.
(stand up all)
But when it’s warm I get very small.
(crouch down low)

Snowy Snowman

Snowy SnowmanI am a snowman made of snow
I stand quite still at Ten below.
With a big long carrot for a nose
And worn out shoes to make my toes
I have two apples for my eyes,
And a woolen coat about this size.
I have a scarf that’s warm and red.
And a funny hat upon my head.
The sun is coming out…… Oh dear!
The sun is melting me I fear
Oh my, I was so nice and round,
Now I’m just a puddle on the ground!

5 Little Snowmen

5 little snowmen standing in a row (hold up 5 fingers)
Each with a hat (pat head) and a big red bow (pull at neck like a bow tie)
Along came the sun (arms form big circle over head) and it shone all day(lean to the left)
And one of those snowmen melted away! (put down one finger)

4 little snowmen standing in a row (hold up 4 fingers)
Each with a hat and a big red bow  
Along came the sun and it shone all day
And one of those snowmen melted away!

3 little snowmen standing in a row (hold up 3 fingers)
Each with a hat and a big red bow
Along came the sun and it shone all day
And one of those snowmen melted away!

2 little snowmen standing in a row (hold up 2 fingers)
Each with a hat and a big red bow  
Along came the sun and it shone all day
And one of those snowmen melted away!

1 little snowman standing in a row (hold up 1 finger)
Each with a hat and a big red bow
Along came the sun and it shone all day
And one of those snowmen melted away!

Going on a Bear Hunt

Going on a Bear Hunt

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!
