Do Your Ears Hang Low?
(Tune: Turkey in the Straw)
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 'em over your shoulder
Like a Continental Soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when they're wet?
Do they stiffen when they're dry?
Can you semifore your neighbor
Use this song to teach student about using a (?) questiong mark at the ending of a question. Next, children make up their own song using questions that begings with �who?�, �what�? �when�?, �where�?, �why�? and �how�?.
I hope you had
A lot of fun
(Tune: Jingle Bells)
Clap your hands, stamp your feet,
Let's all stand up please.
Face to the left, face to the right,
Now hands on your knees.
Sit down now, stand back up,
Clap your hands two beats.
Now we'll all wipe our brows,
And collapse in our seats.
Use this song as a transition after you have come inside from playing and the children need to relax and get ready for the next activity.
A Smile is Quite a Funny Thing
A smile is quite a funny thing,
It wrinkles up your face,
And when it's gone you never find
Its secret hiding place.
But far more wonderful it is,
To see what smiles can do.
You smile at one, he smiles at you,
And so one smile makes two.
He smiles at someone, since you smile,
And then that one smiles back,
And that one smiles until, in truth,
You fail in keeping track.
And since a smile can do great good,
By cheering hearts of care.
Let's smile and not forget the fact
That smiles go everywhere.
My Uncle
(Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
(Substitute someone else's name for "uncle" if you wish)
My uncle fell into a pothole
In a glacier while climbing an Alp.
He's still there after 50 long winters,
And all you can see is his scalp.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my uncle to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my uncle to me.
My uncle was proud of his whiskers,
To shave them would give him the blues.
They hung all the way to his ankles,
And he used them for shining his shoes.
Chorus:
My uncle had faith in a sailboat
He had built from an old hollow tree.
My uncle set sail for Australia,
Now my uncle lies under the sea.
Chorus:
My uncle made friends with hyenas,
He gave them a ride on his raft.
When a crocodile reached up and grabbed him,
The hyenas just sat there and laughed.
Chorus:
My uncle annoyed his dear parents
They tossed him right out of the bus.
And if we don't mend our behavior,
Why that's what will happen to us.
