If You’re Happy and You Know It

If you’re happy and you know it
Clap you hands!
If you’re happy and you know it
Clap you hands!
If you’re happy and you know it
Then your smile will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it
Clap you hands!

If you’re happy and you know it
Stomp your feet!
If you’re happy and you know it
Stomp your feet!
If you’re happy and you know it
Then your smile will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it
Stomp your feet!

If you’re happy and you know it
Shout hooray!
If you’re happy and you know it
Shout hooray!
If you’re happy and you know it
Then your smile will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it
Shout hooray!

If you’re happy and you know it
Do all three! (clap, stomp, hooray!)
If you’re happy and you know it
Do all three!
If you’re happy and you know it
Then your smile will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it
Do all three!

I'm a Little SnowmanI’m a little snowman short and fat.
Here is my scarf and here is my hat.
When the snow is falling come and play.
Build a snowman every day.

Winter’s Coming

(Tune: “Frere Jacques“)

Winter’s coming, Winters Coming.
It is Dark,
It is cold.
I am bundled snug and warm.
Animals sleep safe from harm.
Sleds and snow.
Cold winds blow.

10 Little Indians

by Leave a Comment

Ten Little Indians

One little, two little, three little Indians
Four little, five little, six little Indians
Seven little, eight little, nine little Indians
Ten little Indian boys.

Ten little, nine little, eight little Indians
Seven little, six little, five little Indians
Four little, three little, two little Indians
One little Indian boy.

Variations:

Kids love this song when you mix in words about them or their surroundings. Try trading out the words “little Indian” for things like “little baby” or “little books”. Then tailor the end to match by singing “Ten little baby boys (or girls)” or finishing with “Ten little books to read”.

Play around with it. Children love it.

Pop Goes the Weasel

by Leave a Comment

Pop! Goes the Weasel

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.

The Rainbow Song

(Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star“)

Red and orange, green and blue
Shiny yellow, purple, too.
All the colors that we know,
Live up in the rainbow.
Red and orange, green and blue
Shiny yellow, purple, too.
