I'm a little teapot,
Short and stout
this is my handle (put one hand on hip)
this is my spout (extend other arm)
When I get all steamed up, then I shout
Tip me over and pour me out (bend body toward extended arm)
I'm a very clever pot it's true
Here's an example of what I can do.
I can change my handle and my spout.
Just tip me over, and pour me out.
There was a little Turtle
There was a little Turtle (make small circle with hands)
He lived in a box (make a box with both hands)
He swam in a puddle (wiggle hands)
And climbed on the rocks (climb fingers of one hand up over the other)
He snapped at a mosquito (clap hands)
He snapped at a flea (clap hands)
He snapped at a minnow (clap hands)
and he snapped at me (point to self)
He caught the mosquito (hold hand up, palm forward; quickly bend fingers shut)
He caught the flea
He caught the minnow
but he didn't catch me!
Where is Thumbkin?
Where is Thumbkin? Where is Thumbkin?
(Put hands bahind back)
Here I am. Here I am.
(Show one thumb then the other)
How are you this morning? (bend one thumb)
Very well, I thank you (bend other thumb)
Run and play, run and play (hands back behind your back)
The rest of the fingers:
Where is pointer.
Where is tall man?
Where is ring man?
Where is Pinky?
Where is everyone?
Row, row, row your boat
Row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream.
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
Old MacDonald had a farm
Old MacDonal had a farm
E I E I O
and on that farm there were some ducks
E I E I O
with a quack-quack here
and a quack-quack there
here a quack, there a quack
everywhere a quack-quack
Old macDonald had a farm
E I E I O
Start again substituting another animal for the duck...
Pig, dog, cow, crows, cat,
Do your ears hang low?
Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a know?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder
Like a Continental Soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
Frere Jacques/Are you sleeping?
Frere Jacques, Frere Jacques, Dormez vous? Dormez vous?
Sonnez les matines, Sonnez les matines
Ding ding dong, Ding ding dong.
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing, Morning bells are ringing
Ding ding dong, Ding ding dong.
