Favorite Songs

The songs/rhymes below are songs we sing frequently in Toddler and Preschool storytimes.

Head and Shoulders

Head and shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes
Head and shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Head and shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes!
--Traditional
For preschool, speed the song up each time you sing it. When you can't go any faster, fall down to the ground.

The Hokey Pokey
You put one arm in,
You take one arm out.
You put one arm in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!
Substitute different body parts. For more advanced children, use left and right.
--Traditional

If You’re Happy and You Know It
If you’re happy and you know it,
Clap your hands.
If you’re happy and you know it,
Clap your hands.
If you’re happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you’re happy and you know it,
Clap your hands.
Repeat with stomp your feet, shout hooray, do all three.
--Traditional
