Mr. Sun

Oh Mr. sun, sun, Mr. golden sun,

To please come out so they can play with you.

Monkeys Swinging in a Tree

Five little monkeys swinging in a tree,

Teasing Mr. Crocodile,

"You can't catch me! You can't catch me!"

Along comes Mr. Crocodile, quiet as can be...

SNAP!

Four little monkeys...

When there is only one monkey left, after "SNAP!": You missed me!

Rainbow Song

First comes red, and orange too.

Shiny yellow, green and blue.

Purple ends the pretty rays,

Only seen on rainbow days.

First comes red, and orange too.

Shiny yellow, green and blue.

Little Bunny Foo Foo

Little Bunny Foo Foo,

Hopping through the forest,

Scooping up the field mice,

And bopping them on the head.

Down came the good fairy, and she said,

Little Bunny Foo Foo,

I don't wanna see you,

Scooping up the field mice,

And bopping them on the head.

I'll give you three chances,

and if you don't obey,

I'll turn you into a GOON!

The next day,

Little Bunny Foo Foo,

Hopping through the forest...

After three chances, the good fairy turns Little Bunny Foo Foo into a goon.

There Was a Crocodile

There was a crocodile,

An orangutan,

A flying eagle,

And a silvery fish.

A bunny,

A beaver,

A crazy elephant!

On each repetition, leave out another animal, only making the motions.

Blinking Traffic Lights

Blinking, blinking traffic lights,

On the corner, shining bright.

Green means go, red means stop,

Flashing yellow, very slow.

Blinking, blinking traffic lights,

On the corner, shining bright.
