Moon Ride

Do you want to go up with me to the moon?
Let's get in our rocket and blast-off soon!
Faster and faster we reach to the sky.
Isn't it fun to be able to fly?

Bend and Stretch

Bend and stretch, reach for the stars,
Here comes Jipiter, there goes Mars.
Bend and stretch, reach for the sky.
Stand on tip-e-toes, oh, so high

Stars

I watch the stars come out at night,
I wonder where they get their light.
I don't thiknk they'll ever fall,
So, I'll reach up and pick them all.

Blast-Off

3,2,1 blast off!
Up and Up and up we go.
In our rocketship,
Very fast not slow.

Astronaut Song
(If you are Happy and You Know it)

Outerspace is where I'd really like to go
I ride inside a spaceship don't you know I like to travel near the stars
Wave to Jupiter and Mars
Outerspace is hwere I'd really like to go.

Can You Count the Stars

One star, two stars, three stars, four;
I think there are many more
Sining stars up in the sky,
Can you count them? Let's all try!

I use this as a flannel board activity and place a different number of stars on the flannel board each time we say the verse. Then as a group we count the stars.

We'll be orbitting around the Moon
(Coming around the Mountain)

We'll be orbitting around the moon, yes we will
We'll be orbitting around the moon, yes we will
We'll be orbitting around the moon X 3
Yes we will

other verses
We'll be landing on the Moon
WE'll be walking on the Moon
We'll be blasting off again
We'll be landing back on Earth

Twinkle, Twinkle
(Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Twinkle, twinkle, little stars
How we wonder where you are.
In the cubbies, on the chairs;
We are looking everywhere.
Twinkle, twinkle, little stars.
How we wonder where you are.

Moon Song
"Farmer in the Dell"

We're going to the moon,
We're going to the moon.
Put on your helmet, climb on board;
We're blasting off real soon.

We;re walking on the moon,
We're walking on the moon.
We'll plan a flag and find some rocks.
We're walking on the moon
