Here Are My Ears

April 3, 2023 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Here Are My Ears

Here are my ears
Here is my nose
Here are my fingers
Here are my toes

Here are my eyes
Both open wide
Here is my mouth
With teeth inside

Here is my tongue
That helps me speak
Here is my chin
Here are my cheeks

Here are my hands
That help me play
Here are my feet
For walking today

A Goodbye Rhyme

December 28, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

A Good-bye Rhyme

Wave high, wave low
I think it’s time we’ve got to go.

Wave your elbows, wave your toes,
Wave your knees, wave your nose.

Wave your chin, wave your lips,
Blow a kiss from your fingertips.

Wave your ears, wave your eyes,
Wave your hands and say “Good-bye!”

With Infants

Lay the infant on a blanket or on your lap. Tickle each body part as it is mentioned. Help the infant wave good-bye with their hands.

With Young Toddlers

Either sit facing your sitting toddler, or have your toddler sit on your lap. If facing each other you can mirror your toddler by waving each body part as it it mentioned. If toddler is sitting on your lap, you can help them wave each body part as it is mentioned.

Sleepy Fingers

Sleepy Fingers

My fingers are so sleepy,
It’s time they went to bed.
First you, Baby Finger,
Tuck in your little head.
Ring Man, now it’s your turn.
Then comes Tall Man Great.
Pointer Finger, hurry
Because it’s getting late!
Let’s see if they’re all cozy.
No, there’s one more to come.
Move over, Little Pointer,
Make room for Master Thumb!

Do Your Ears Hang Low?

May 27, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder
like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

The Body Parts

The Body Parts

(Tune: “Frere Jacques”)

Here’s my head.
Here’s my nose.
See my hands
Touch my toes
Reach up with my fingers,
High as they can go.
Wave them back,
To and fro.

Instrumental Tune: Frere Jacques

All of Me

February 25, 2020 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

All of Me

My hands are for clapping,
My arms can hug tight
My fingers can snap
Or turn out the light.
My legs are for jumping,
My eyes help me see
This is my body
And I love all of ME!

5 Fingers

February 23, 2020 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Five Fingers

One finger says good day,
One finger likes to play,
One finger nice and long,
One finger sweet and strong.
One thumb, young or old,
One hand, perfect to hold.

Mittens For Me

Mittens For Me

I wiggle my left hand,
I wiggle my right,
Inside of my mittens
so warm and tight.

I wiggle my pinkie,
I wiggle my thumb,
So when I make snowballs
My hands won’t go numb.

Welcome Everyone

Welcome Everyone

(Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star“)

Welcome, welcome everyone.
Now you’re here,
We’ll have some fun.
First we’ll clap our hands just so
Then we’ll bend
And touch our toe.
Welcome, welcome everyone.
Now you’re here,
We’ll have some fun!

Instrumental Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

I Am Special

I Am Special

(Tune: “London Bridge Is Falling Down“)

I am special. Yes, I am!
Yes, I am!
Yes, I am!
I am special. Yes, I am.
I’m very special.

No else has hair* like mine.
Just like mine.
Just like mine.
No one else has hair* like mine.
I’m very special.

*Additional verses: a face like mine, eyes like mine, nose like mine, mouth like mine.
