"If You're Ready for a Story" song

[tune: If You're Happy and You Know it] 

If you're ready for a story clap your hands!

If you're ready for a story clap your hands!

If you're ready for a story, then you're surly in your glory,

If you're ready for a story clap your hands!

"Everybody Knows that I Love My Toes" song

Everybody knows that I love my toes!

Everybody knows that I love my toes!

I love my eyes, my ears, my mouth and my nose,

But everybody knows that I love my toes!
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle your toes!
Wiggle, wiggle!  Wiggle, wiggle!
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle your toes!
Wiggle, wiggle!  Wiggle, wiggle!

"This Old Man" action song [feet version]
Act out each movement, first fast then be really dramatic with the slooow.
[tune: This Old Man] 

This old man, he has feet,

See him walking down the street,
With a tippy-tap, tipy-tap, watch him go,
Sometimes fast and some...times...slow.
[Repeat: Skipping, Dancing, Marching]

"Counting Feet" flannel board

How many boots should the duckling buy,
To keep her feet warm and dry?

Let's count her feet and then we'll know,

Let's count together!  Here we go!

One ... Two! (pointing to each foot as you count)

Two new boots is what she should buy,

They will keep duckling warm and dry.

[Place boots on duckling, counting as you do.]

[Repeat: Puppy, Ladybug, etc.]

"Little Mouse" group activity

This game works on colors, counting and 'paying attention' (the other kids will let you know if a certain color has already been called.)  After our books are read, we play a round or two of Little Mouse.  See Nutmeg's Debut! for more information about our Little Mouse game.

"Goodbye, Friends" group song

Goodbye, friends

Goodbye, friends
