Opening Song - Baby Hop
Song - Ball Game (we gave each child a ball to hold)
This is the way we hold the ball, hold the ball, hold the ball,
This is the way we hold the ball so early in the morning.
This is the way we roll the ball, roll the ball, roll the ball,
This is the way we roll the ball so early in the morning.
This is the way we bounce the ball, bounce the ball, bounce the ball,
This is the way we bounce the ball so early in the morning!
Rhyme - I Have a Little Pony
I have a little pony, (bounce)
His name is Macaroni,
He trots and he trots. (bounce faster)
And then he stops, (freeze)
My funny Macaroni! (bounce again)
by Emily Gravett
Song - Head, Shoulders, Knee & Toes
Head, shoulders, knees & toes,
Knees & toes,
Knees & toes,
Head, shoulders, knees & toes,
Eyes, ears, mouth & nose!
(touch body parts with feather)
Rhyme -Choo-Choo-Choo
Choo-choo-choo,
The train goes down the track.
(Run fingers down arm)
Choo-choo-choo,
And then it runs right back!
(Run fingers up arm)
Book – Peek-a-Baby
by Karen Katz
Rhyme - Hey, Diddle, Diddle
Hey, diddle, diddle, (bounce baby)
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon. (lift baby)
The little dog laughed to see such sport, (bounce baby)
And the dish ran away with the spoon. (sway)
Rhyme - Riding Game
This is the way the farmer rides,
Jiggety-jog, jiggety jog. (bounce slowly)
This is the way the lady rides,
A-prance, a-prance, a-prance. (bounce faster)
This is the way the gentleman rides,
A-gallop, a-gallop, a-gallop! (bounce fastest)
Goodbye Rhyme
Our hands say thank you
With a clap, clap, clap.
Our feet say thank you
With a tap, tap, tap.
Clap, clap, clap.
Tap, tap, tap.
We roll our hands
And wave goodbye!
Activity – play with instruments!
