Teddy bear, teddy bear turn around, 
(children turn in circle)

Teddy bear, teddy bear touch the ground,
(children touch the floor)

Teddy bear, teddy bear go upstairs
(children pretend to walk up stairs)

Teddy bear, teddy bear clap your hands
(children clap hands)

Teddy bear, teddy bear turn out the light
(children pretend to turn out a light)

Teddy bear, teddy bear say "good-night".

Tell me (child's name) what did ya do

What did ya do at school today!

I have ten little fingers, 

And they all belong to me. 
(hold hands out in front) 

I can make them do things, 

Would you like to see? 

I can shut them up tight. 
(make a fist) 

I can open them up wide. 
(spread fingers out) 

I can put them together. 
(clasp hands together)

I can make them all hide.
(put hands behind back)

I can make them jump high.
(raise hands over head)

I can make them jump low.
(lower hands to knees)

I can fold them like this

and hold them just so.
(fold hands in lap)

Clean up, clean up everyone

We have had a lot of fun

When we put our things away

We will have a happy day

Clean up, clean up everyone

Let me see what you have done

Tune: "The Wheels on the Bus"

The clouds in the sky go 

Boom, boom boom, 

Boom, boom, boom, 

Boom, boom, boom. 

(clap hands on "boom") 

The clouds in the sky go 

Boom, boom, boom. 

All night and day. 

Additional verses:

The rain falling down goes 

Plink, plink, plink...... 

(move fingers down in front)

Sad little children cry

Go away, go away, go away

(sad faces, wipe eyes)

The flowers and trees go

Yum, yum, yum

(rub tummy)

The creatures all around go

Scrub, scrub, scrub

(wash self all over)

The sun behind the clouds says

Move away, move away, move away

(pretend to push clouds away)

The clouds in the sky say

See you soon, see you soon, see you soon

(wave hand)

Tune: "Do You Know the Muffin Man"

We're going on a trip today,

trip today, a trip today

We're going on a trip today

We're going with our friends

What do you think we'll see today,

see today, see today

What do you think we'll see today

When we go on our trip

Tune: "Here we go Round the Mulberry Bush"

The finger band has come to town 

Come to town, come to town, 

The finger band has come to town, 

So early in the morning. 

Enoucourage children to sing about different instruments the finger band can play: drums, flute, clarinet, trumpet, violin, trombone, piano, guitar.  Encourage children to pretend to play each instrument as they sing.

Tune: "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"

The little fuzzy caterpiller, 

Curled up on a leaf. 

Spun her little chrysalis, 

and then she fell fast asleep. 

While she was sleeping, 

She dreamed that she could fly.

And later when she woke up,

she was a butterfly.

Hello, hello, hello and how are you?

I'm fine, I'm fine

And I hope that you are, too

Tune: The Wheels on the Bus"

The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown

Orange and brown

Orange and brown. 

The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown,

All through the town. 

The leaves on the trees come tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. 

The leaves on the trees come tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down.

Tune: "Skip to My Lou" 

Hands on my hips and my lips are zipped

Hands on my hips and my lips are zipped

Hands on my hips and my lips are zipped

What a quiet friend I'll be

Tune: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"

Brush, brush, brush your teeth

Brush them every day

We put toothpaste on our brush

To help stop tooth decay

Clean, clean, clean your teeth

Clean them every day!

Your teeth will shine for years to come

A smile for every day

Tune: "The Farmer in the Dell"

Let's sing a winter song

Let's sing a winter song

The days are short, the nights are long

Let's sing a winter song.

The winter wind is cold

The winter wind is cold

It freezes noses, ears, and toes

The winter wind is cold.

The winter season's here

The winter season's here

Put on your coat, your hat, your gloves

The winter season's here.

Tune: "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush"

This is the way we wet our hands,

wet our hands, wet our hands  

This is the way we wet our hands to get them nice and clean

This is the way we soap our hands…

This is the way we scrub our hands…

This is the way we rinse our hands…

This is they way we dry our hands...

This little piggy went to market
(touch thumb)

This little this piggy stayed home
(touch index or pointer finger)

This little piggy had roast beef
(touch middle finger)

This little piggy had none
(touch ring finger)

And this little piggy cried wee-wee-wee, all the way home
(touch pinky)

Tune: "Fingerplay" 

This old man, he played one,

he played knick-knack on my thumb,

With a knick-knack paddy-whack,

give a dog a bone,

This old man came rolling home

Time for centers, time for centers

Choose one now, boys and girls

Science, math or play dough

Writing, blocks or puzzles

Choose one now, boys and girls

(use books, games…)

Tune: "Oh, My Darling, Clementine"

Time for circle, time for circle

Oh, it's circle time again

Time to gather on the carpet

As we sit beside our friends

Time for circle, time for circle

Oh, it's circle time again

Time to gather for our story

As we sit beside our friends

Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" 

Twinkle, twinkle little star

Time to clean up where you are

Put each toy back in its place

Keep a smile upon your face

Twinkle, twinkle little star

Time to clean up where you are.

Tune: "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

Now it's time to read a book, 

read a book, read a book

Now it's time to read a book

Let's gather with our friends
(sing some songs, exercise, play a game…)
