TLC Music Songs #4
The colours are gliding
The colours are gliding, all around
The colours are gliding, all around
The colours are gliding, all around
And then all my colours with swirl to the ground
Let’s make a rainbow
Let’s make a rainbow way up high
Moving our rainbows from side to side
Let’s make a rainbow way up high
The pretty colours move across the sky
Can you shake up high?
Can you stand on your tippy toes and try
Now shake them everywhere
And shake down low
Let’s make a rainbow way up high
Moving our rainbows from side to side
Let’s make a rainbow way up high
The pretty colours move across the sky
I hear thunder
I hear thunder
I hear thunder
Hark don’t you?
Hark don’t you?
Pitter patter raindrops
Pitter patter raindrops
I’m wet through
So are you
5 little men made out of snow
5 little men made out of snow
Each with a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and he stayed all day
One little snow man melted away
And he said, “Oops, I’m a puddle!”
Four little men made out of snow…
Not much room under my mushroom
Oh there’s not much room under my mushroom so you can’t come over today
Oh there’s not much room under my mushroom so you’d better stay away
But when the rain falls down I know
My mushroom will grow
and grow and grow
And there’ll be lots of room under my mushroom so please come over today
There’ll be lots of room under my mushroom so please come over to play
Walter Walter Wagtail
Walter Walter wagtail
sat upon a pole
He wagged his tail,
He wagged his tail,
Then he fell down a hole,
Weee!
Five little birdies
One little birdie flew and flew,
Along came another one
And then there were two.
One! Two!
Two little birdies busy as can be
Along came another one and that made three.
One! Two! Three!
Three little birdies wanted one more
Along came another one and that made four.
One! Two! Three! Four!
Five little birdies flying very high
Flapping wings and soaring,
Up in the sky!
Oral Stories
Telling stories without books is a great way to engage your child’s attention, develop their imagination and their concentration.
Here are a few ideas to get you started at home plus a copy of the Molly Golly story we did this week.
· Create a quiet space and sit close
· Choose a story you know well so it ‘flows’
· You can change your voice for different characters if you like
· Children love to hear simple stories about your life when you were young or stories about them
· You can use small props or dolls if you like
Molly Golly
Molly Golly x4 (point to each finger as you say it)
Went for a walk (sweep from top index finger down and up thumb)
She found it was snowing but she kept on going (do snow fingers),
until she heard a little voice call (1st pincers opening and closing)
Oh Molly, ah Molly don’t go far Molly
Don’t get lost or frozen by the frost,
But she kept on going….
Pitter patter pitter patter pitter patter pat
Molly Golly x4 (point to each finger as you say it)
Went for a walk (sweep from top index finger down and up thumb)
She found it was snowing but she kept on going,
until she heard a bigger voice call (2nd hands palms together opening and closing)
Oh Molly, ah Molly don’t go far Molly
Don’t get lost or frozen by the frost,
But she kept on going….
Pitter patter pitter patter pitter patter pat
Molly Golly x4 (point to each finger as you say it)
Went for a walk (sweep from top index finger down and up thumb)
She found it was snowing but she kept on going,
until she heard a great big voice call (3rd large crocodile hands opening and closing)
Oh Molly, ah Molly don’t go far Molly
Don’t get lost or frozen by the frost,
So she ran back home
Run, run….. patting knees
Close the door (clap hands)
Stories can also be used to help resolve difficult behaviors or help your child learn new skills and face new challenges. www.susanperrow.com has great collections of stories you can purchase very reasonably to help you with ideas.
