Old Mother Goose, when
she wanted to wander,
Would ride through the air
On a very fine gander.
Mother Goose had a house,
‘Twas built in a wood.
An owl at the door
For a porter stood.
She had a son Jack,
A plain-looking lad.
He was not very good,
Nor yet very bad.
She sent him to market,
A live goose he bought.
“Here! Mother,” says he,
“It will not go for naught.”
Jack’s goose and her gander
Grew very fond;
They’d both eat together,
Or swim in the pond.
Jack found one morning,
As I have been told,
His goose had laid him
An egg of pure gold.
Jack rode to his mother,
The news for to tell.
She called him a good boy
And said it was well.
And Old Mother Goose
The goose saddled soon,
And mounting its back,
Flew up to the moon.
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn’t know where to find them;
Leave them alone,
And they’ll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.
Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke she found it a joke,
for still they all were fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them.
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they’d left all their tails behind ’em!
It happened one day, as Bo-Peep did stray
Unto a meadow hard by—
There she espied their tails, side by side,
All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks she raced;
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
That each tail should be properly placed.
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!”
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 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!
Five Little Ducks with Actions
(Tune: “Itsy Bitsy Spider“)
A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose.
Along came a bunny,
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny
Looking for his lunch,
Ate that little snowman’s nose
Nibble, nibble, crunch!!
A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose. (point to nose)
Along came a bunny,
And what do you suppose?
(hold up two fingers on right hand to make bunny)
That hungry little bunny
Looking for his lunch,
Ate that little snowman’s nose (pretend to grab nose)
Nibble, nibble, crunch!!

I’m a little jumpy frog
I hop from log to log
I like to jump and jump all day
‘Cause that’s the way I play
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.
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!
