Do Your Ears Hang Low? Do your ears hang low? (Circle hands down from each ear.) Do they wobble to and fro? (Sway hands from side to side.) Can you tie them in a knot? (Make knot-tying action.) Can you tie them in a bow? (Make bow-tying action.) Can you toss them over your shoulder (“Toss them” over one shoulder.) Like a regimental soldier? (Salute and march.) Do your ears hang low?
Five Little Monkeys Five little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!” Four little monkeys... Three little monkeys... Two little monkeys... One little monkey jumping on the bed. She fell off and bumped her head. Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “Well,no more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
Theme 3 On the Move!
Ants Go Marching
The ants go marching one by one, Hurrah, Hurrah! The ants go marching one by one, Hurrah, Hurrah! The ants go marching one by one. The little one stops to suck his thumb.
...two/The little one stops to tie her shoe. ...three/The little one stops to climb a tree. ...four/The little one stops—his feet are sore. ...five/The little one stops to get a ride. (Older children can continue:) ...six/The little one stops to pick up sticks. ...seven/The little one stops to talk to Kevin. ...eight/The little one stops to shut the gate. ...nine/The little one stops to check the time. ...ten/The little one stops to say, “The end!”
(chorus) And they all go marching down to the ground
to get out of the rain. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
