Special Songs/Rhymes

Two Little Hands

Sung to: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”

Two little hands go clap clap clap

Two little feet go tap tap tap

Two little hands go thump thump thump (on the ground)

Two little feet go jump jump jump

One little body turns around

One little child sits right down.

--District 196

Wash the Dishes

--from Lapsit Services for the Very Young II by Linda L. Ernst. New York: Neal-Schuman Publishers, Inc, 2001.

Five Little Piggies

Five little piggies rolling in the mud.

Squishy, squashy, felt so good!

Then along came the farmer,

who took one for a bath.

Peek-a-Boo (with scarves)

Tune: Are You Sleeping?

Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo

I see your button nose,

I see your tiny toes.

Peek-a-boo, I see you!
