do you and the children sing songs, if so what do you sing and which ones are the favourites? i need some new songs to sing, preferably with actions.
We sing
dingle dangle scarecrow (kids fave)
the animals went in 2 by 2
little green frog
3 little men in a flying saucer
wheels on the bus
miss polly had a dolly
5 little ducks
5 little monkeys jumping on the bed
down in the jungle
twinkle twinkle
pirate ship
and a few others.

Ummm, Caroline. You have got me thinking now.
Wind The Bobbin Up
Row row the boat (my daughter's favourite)
If you're Happy and You Know It
5 Little Speckled Frogs
Incy Wincy Spider
Daddy's/Mummy's taking us to the Zoo tomorrow
Head, Shoulders Knees and Toes
These are some of my own childrens favourites. Mind has gone blank now. Will try and think of some more.

Umm, believe me you don't want to hear my singing but I'll give the lyrics. Mummy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow Zoo tomorrow Zoo tomorrow Mummy's taking us to the Zoo tomorrow We can stay all day We are going to the zoo zoo zoo How about you you you You can come too too too We're going to the zoo zoo zoo You can change lyrics to Daddy's taking us or whoever really. There are other verses to it but I don't know all the words by heart. Just on a tape I have here. I guess if you don't know the tune of the song the lyrics don't really help. MAybe can find it on web to listen too?  ?? Sorry, not much help really. Susan x |

oh angel, i can't believe you don't know this one
wind the bobbin up
wind the bobbin up, pull pull clap clap clap
wind it back again, wind it back again, pull pull clap clap clap
point to the ceiling point to the door
point to the window point to the floor
put your hands together 1,2,3
place your hands upon your knee.
good song for actions, as you obviously do as the song says!

Hi
The 2 year old and 1 year old that i mind on a Monday absolutely love the 'Wiggles' tune - Hot potato. I had to watch the 'Wiggles' a few times to grasp it but it was well worth it.
