The Bean Song This silly song is easy for campers to learn. And everyone can come up with their own beans to put in the song! Have campers stand in a circle, facing in. Sing around the circle, with one person singing the first stanza and then the whole group singing the second. Invite campers to come up with as many types of beans as possible (jelly, cocoa, jumping, kidney, dilly, mung, lima, string, wax, butter, pinto, cannellini, red, black). LYRICS My dog Lima likes to roam, One day Lima left his home. He came back nice and clean, Where oh where has Lima bean? Lima bean, Lima bean, Where oh where has Lima bean? Lima bean, Lima bean, Where oh where has Lima bean? The Hokey Pokey Have campers stand in a circle, facing in. The dance is done as a group, and all campers should participate. Encourage campers to dance along to each verse. LYRICS
You put your right hand in, You put your right hand out, You put your right hand in, And you shake it all about, you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, That’s what it’s all about!
Continue singing, replacing the body part with the following: left hand, right foot, left foot, head, rear end, whole self.
