Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

Reindeer Pokie (Sung To: Hokey Pokey)
You put your antlers in,

You put your hooves in,

You put your tail in,

You put your red nose in,

You put your whole self in,


Way up High on the Christmas Tree
Way up high on the Christmas tree (Point up)
Two little candy canes winked at me (wink),
So I shook that tree as hard as I could (pretend to shake tree)
And down fell those candy canes (squat down)
Mmm, they were good! (Rub Tummy)


Little Reindeer
One little, two little, three little reindeer
Four little, five little, six little reindeer
Seven little, eight little, nine little reindeer
Pulling Santa's Sleigh

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Now let's all do a little clapping (clap),

Dance like snowflakes
Dance like snowflakes
In the air
In the air
Whirling, twirling, snowflakes
Whirling, twirling, snowflakes
Here and there
Here and there

I'm a little snow person,
Short and fat
Here are my buttons,
here is my hat.
When the snow comes out,
I cannot stay.
Slowly I just melt away.

Sing a song of winter, frost is in the air;
Sing a song of winter, snowflakes everywhere.
Sing a song of winter, hear the sleigh bells chime,
Can you think of anything as nice as wintertime?

5 little Snowman standing in a row,
Each had a hat and a big red bow.
Out came the sun and it shone all day,
1 Little snowman melted away.
4 Little Snowman standing in a row,
Each had a hat and a big red bow.
Out Came the the sun and it shone all day,
1 Little snowman melted away.

Winter Hokey Pokey
You put your mitten in, you take your mitten out
You put your boots in, you take your boots out
You put your coat in, you put your coat out
You put your hat in, you put your hat out
You put your scarf in, you put your scarf out

Songs for November

Turkey’s Tail
Turkey’s tail is big and wide (Hands spread out)
He swings it when he walks (Twist hands side to side)
His neck is long, his chin is red (Wiggle fingers under chin)
He gobbles when he talks (Make a beak with fingers)
Turkey is so tall and proud (Hands under arms like wings)
He dances on his feet (Tap feet)
And on each Thanksgiving Day
He’s something good to eat! (Rub stomach)


I am Thankful (sung to "Where is Thumbkin?" )
I am Thankful, I am Thankful
Yes I am, Yes I am
I am Thankful for my friends
I am thankful for my kin
Yes I am, Yes I am
(Explain that kin is another word for family! )


Autumn Winds (Sung to: "Ring around the Rosie")

Autumn winds begin to blow
Colored leaves fall fast and slow
Whirling Twirling all around
Till at last they touch the ground

The Leaves Sung to: "The Wheels on the Bus"

The leaves on the trees turn Orange and Red
Orange and Red, Orange and Red,
The leaves on the trees turn Orange and Red
All around the town.
The leaves of the tree come tumbling down,
tumbling down, tumbling down,
The leaves of the tree come tumbling down,
All Around the town.
The leaves on the ground go "swish, swish, swish,"
"swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish,"
The leaves on the ground go "swish, swish, swish"
All around the town.
We'll rake them in a pile and jump right in!
Jump right in, Jump right in!
We'll rake them in a pile and jump right in!
All around the town.

Songs for October

This little pumpkin was small and round.
This little pumpkin sat on the ground.
….was short and fat.
… wore a silly hat.
…had a grin so keen.
…said, “Happy Halloween!”


Fire truck Song
Hurry, hurry drive the fire truck,
Hurry, hurry drive the fire truck,
Hurry, hurry drive the fire truck,
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding

Hurry, hurry ring the bell

Hurry, hurry turn the corner

Hurry, hurry climb the ladder

Hurry, hurry squirt the water


I’m a fireman—tune I’m a little tea pot
I am a fireman, dressed in red
With my fire hat on my head.
I can drive the fire truck, fight fire too.
And help to make things safe for you.



Leaves, leaves falling down
Falling to the ground.
Red and yellow, orange and brown,
Falling to the ground.


Witches’ Brew

Stirring, stirring, stirring,
WOOOOOOOOH (3x)
Tip toe, Tip toe, Tip toe (whisper)
BOO!

There’s a fire station down the street
Where the fire chief’s name is Pete.
And when someone dials 911
All the fire men and women run.
ring the bell
slide down the pole
get dressed (pants, jacket, boots, mask, hat, air tank, gloves, flashlight)
check the flashlight and make sure the batteries work
There’ a fire station down the street…
start the truck (turn the key) and make a revving the motor sound
turn on the siren (woo-oo, woo-oo sound effects)
drive to the fire (steering wheel motions)
There’ a fire station down the street…
get to the fire and stop -- screech the brakes
pull out the hoses
spray water on the fire
There’ a fire station down the street…
get out the ladders and lean them against the building
climb up the ladders
look in the windows to see if any kitties or puppies need to be rescued
then, rescue any kittens or puppies that you see, and climb carefully back down the ladder -- holding the puppies and kittens safely and snugly
Great job -- we put out the fire, and saved the kittens and puppies!!!

Old MacDonald Had A Farm

Two Red Apples (Sung to: "This Old Man")

Way up high, in a tree (raise hands over head)
Two red apples smiled at me (smile)
So I shook that tree as har-r-d as I could (Pretend to shake tree)
Down came the apples, Ummm, they were good!!!! (Rub tummy)

Hello everybody and how are you (while waving)
How are you?
How are you?
Hello everybody and how are you?
How are you today?

(We can add more verses later as well…
Stomp your feet everybody and how are you
how are you
how are you
stomp your feet everybody and how are you; how are you today?
Clap you hands everybody(different actions)
and how are you
how are you
how are you
clap your hands everybody and how are you how are you today?)
