Mice and Elephants

OPENING STRETCH
Hello toes, good bye toes.
Hello toes, good bye toes.
My toes are feeling shy today,
And now they're feeling better!

Repeat with elbows and hands.

OPENING RHYMES
Round about, round about,
Goes the wee mousie. (Circle a finger on the child's palm as you sing)
Up, Up, Up, Up, Up (quickly walk your fingers up the child's arm)
Into the wee housie! (tickle the child under the chin!)

Here's a little mousie
Peeking through a hole.
Peek to the left. Peek to the right.
Pull your head back in,
There's a cat in sight - MEOW!

Hickory dickory dock.
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down
Hickory dickory dock.
Hickory dickory dock.
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck two,
The mouse said, "BOO!"
Hickory dickory dock.
Hickory dickory dock.
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck three,
The mouse went, "WHEE!"
Hickory dickory dock.

Mouse was mad by Linda Urban

MOVEMENT
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.
If you're happy and you know it, then your face is going to show it,
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.
If you're sad and you know it wipe your eyes...
If you're mad and you know it stomp your feet...
If you're sleepy and you know it give a yawn...
Wake up!
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands...

WORD OF THE DAY
P-L-A-Y

FELT
Bought me a cat and the cat pleased me,
I fed my cat under yonder tree.
Cat goes fiddle-i-fee.

Bought me a hen and the hen pleased me,
I fed my hen under yonder tree.
Hen goes chimmy-chuck, chimmy-chuck,
Cat goes fiddle-i-fee.

Bought me a duck and the duck pleased me,
I fed my duck under yonder tree.
Duck goes quack, quack...

Bought me a goose and the goose pleased me
I fed my goose under yonder tree.
Goose goes hissy, hissy...

Bought me a sheep and the sheep pleased me,
I fed my sheep under yonder tree.
Sheep goes baa, baa...

Bought me a pig and the pig pleased me,
I fed my pig under yonder tree.
Pig goes oink, oink...

Bought me a cow and the cow pleased me,
I fed my cow under yonder tree.
Cow goes moo, moo...

Bought me a horse and the horse pleased me,
I fed my horse under yonder tree.
Horse goes neigh, neigh...

Bought me a dog and the dog pleased me,
I fed my dog under yonder tree.
Dog goes bow-wow, bow-wow...

"Willaby Wallaby Wee"
Willaby wallaby wee, an elephant sat on me.
Willaby wallaby woo, an elephant sat on you.
Willaby wallaby wat, an elephant sat on cat.
Willaby wallaby wen, an elephant sat on hen...

Are you ready to go play outside? by Mo Willems

RHYME TIME
Rain is falling down, SPLASH.
Rain is falling down, SPLASH.
Pitter, patter. Pitter, patter,
Rain is falling down, SPLASH.

Rain on the green grass, rain on the tree.
Rain on the roof tops, but not on me!

Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

SONG WITH FELT
One elephant went out to play
Upon a spider's web one day.
She had such enormous fun,
She called another one to come.
"El-e-phant!"
Boom. Boom. Boom.
And then there were two!
Two elephants went out to play...

Ring around the rosie
A pocket full of posies.
Ashes, ashes.
We all fall down.
Cows are in the meadow eating buttercups.
Thunder, lightning.
We all stand up.

Additional Verses
Jump around the rosie...
Tip toe 'round the rosie...

QUIETING RHYME
I hear thunder, I hear thunder,
Hark! Don't you?
Hark! Don't you?
Pitter, patter, rain drops,
Pitter, patter, rain drops,
I'm wet through, so are you.

No matter what by Emma Dodd

GOODBYE SONGS
See you later, alligator. After awhile crocodile.
See you soon, little baboon. Bye, bye butterfly.
I'm out the door, dinosaur

Make new friends, and keep the old.
One is silver, and the other gold.
A circle is round, it has no end.
That's how long I want to be your friend.
