Valentines for You
(Tune: “Ten Little Indians“)
One little, two little, three little Valentines,
Four little, five little, six little Valentines,
Seven little, eight little, nine little Valentines,
Lots of love for you!
Rock-A-Bye
Rock-A-Bye
Rock-a-bye, Baby,
Upon the tree top,
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall,
Down tumbles cradle,
Baby and all.
Also known as Hush-A-Bye, this song can be either a lullaby (though slightly disturbing at that) or an action song (much more fitting). As an action song, hold the infant or child cradled in your arms. Gently rock the little one back and forth as the wind blows. The when the cradle falls and down tumbles baby, gently lower your arms quickly, and “catch” your little one. Older preschoolers love this song and you can be a little more active in your actions.

Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony
He stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni
Chorus:
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
and with the girls be handy!
Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.
Chorus
And there was Captain Washington
Upon his strapping stallion.
A-giving orders to his men;
I guess there was a million.

Making all the clouds float by.
