The Eensy Weensy Spider
The eensy weensy spider
Went up the water spout.
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain.
Then the eensy weensy spider
Went up the spout again.

Five little monkeys
jumping on the bed.
One fell off and
bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor
and the doctor said,
“That’s what you get for jumping on the bed!”

The Calming Rhyme
Let your hands go
Clap, clap, clap.
Let your fingers go
Snap, snap, snap.
Let your lips go very round,
But do not make a single sound.
Fold your hands.
Close each eye.
Take a deep breath
(Inhale-Exhale)
And softly sigh…..ahhh

Here is the Beehive
Here is the beehive.
Where are the bees?
Hiding away where nobody sees.
Soon they come creeping
Out of their hive.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!

Two Little Bluebirds
Two little bluebirds
sitting on a hill.
One named Jack.
One named Jill.
Fly away Jack. Fly away Jill.
Come back Jack.
Come back Jill.

The Apple Tree
Way up high in the apple tree,
Two little apples smiled
down at me.
I shook that tree
just as hard as I could.
Down came the apples,
Mmmmmm … they were good!

I’m A Little Tea Pot
I’m a little tea pot,
short and stout.
Here is my handle,
here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up,
then I shout.
“Tip me over and pour me out.”
traditional
Here is a Bunny
Here is a bunny
with his ears so funny.
And here is a hole
in the ground.
When a noise he hears
he perks up his ears,
And he jumps in his hole
in the ground!

Where is Thumpkin?
Where is thumpkin?
Where is thumpkin?
Here I am.
Here I am.
How are you today sir?
Very well, I thank you!
Run away.
Run Away.
