Action/Gross Motor Rhyme
 
Open Shut Them
Open, shut them, open, shut them.
Give a great big clap!
Open, shut them, open, shut them.
Put them in your lap.
Creep them, creep them,
To your chin.
Creep them, creep them,
But do not let them in!
(repeat verse 1 using little instead of great big for clap)

Read Together
Hand each parent a classroom copy of a board book. Read the book aloud while the caregivers and babies read together. Afterwards, allow time for babies to explore the book some more on their own.


The More We Get Together
The more we get together,
Together, together.
The more we get together,
The happier we’ll be.
Because your friends are my friends,
And my friends are your friends.
The more we get together,
The happier we’ll be.
--Traditional

Clean Up Song 
Sung to: Mary Had a Little Lamb
It’s time to put the toys away,
Toys away, toys away.
It’s time to put the toys away,
We’ll see them again next time.


Clean Up Song #2
Clean up, clean up,
Everybody everywhere.
Clean up, clean up,
Everybody do your share.
