Active Song: My Dog Rags
I have a dog.
His name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop and his tail wig wags.
And when he walks, he goes zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.
My dog Rags, he loves to play.
He rolls around in the mud all day.
I whistle. [whistle]
He won’t obey.
He always runs the other way.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.
My dog Rags, he loves to bark.
He wants me to join him in the park.
He barks. [bark bark]
He tries to talk.
He barks to chase the cats away.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.
I have a dog.
His name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop and his tail wig wags.
And when he walks, he goes zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

Book: A Pair of Socks by Stewart A. Murphy. Illustrated by Lois Elhert
Action Song: Matching Socks
Have pairs of socks in felt. Hand out one of the pair, then put one sock at a time on the board.
I have two feet on which I walk.
But I can only find one sock!
Here’s a Sock I like to wear,
But I need a matching pair.
Bring one up so we can see,
If it matches perfectly!
