Can you Pretend?
Let's hear you roar like a lion!
Let's see you jump like a frog!
Let's see you snap your jaws like a crocodile!
Let's hear you howl like a dog!
Pretend you're an elephant with a big, looooong, trunk.
Pretend you're a monkey.
Let's see you jump, jump, jump!
And now you're a mouse.
Just let me see
How very, very quiet you can be.
I’m a Little Teapot
I'm a little teapot short and stout,
Here is my handle,
(one hand on hip)
Here is my spout.
(other arm out straight)
When I get all steamed up hear me shout,
"Tip me over and pour me out!"
(lean over toward spout)
Can You Move With Me?
(Tune: “Do Your Ears Hang Low?”)
Can you wiggle like a worm?
Can you squiggle? Can you squirm?
Can you flutter? Can you fly like a gentle butterfly?
Can you crawl upon the ground
Like a beetle that is round?
Can you move with me?
Can you flip? Can you flop?
Can you give a little hop?
Can you slither like a snake?
Can you give a little shake?
Can you dance like bee
Who is buzzing round a tree?
Can you move with me?
I’m Growing Up
Tune: Five Little Ducks
I’m growing up as you can see
You never know what I may be!
A fireman putting out the flames,
A weatherman saying when it rains.
A teacher telling you what to learn,
Or a ballerina on toes I’ll turn.
An athlete who will win a race,
An astronaut in outer space!
I’m growing up as you can see
You never know what I may be!
Everyday I’m growing strong,
I’ll be big soon, it won’t take long!
