The More we Get Together

The more we get together, together, together
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
‘Cause your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.

Active Songs

Two Little Hands Go Clap

My two hands go clap clap clap
My two feet go tap tap tap
My two hands go thump thump thump (hands on lap)
My two feet go jump, jump jump.
My one body turns around.
And it quietly sits down.

From Jbrary

Put Your Hands Up High
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Put your hands up high.
Put your hands down low.
Put your hands in the middle.
And wiggle them so.

Put your elbows to the front.
Put your elbows to the back.
Put your elbows to the side.
And quack quack quack!

From Jbrary

Clap Your Hands
Tune: Jingle Bells

Clap your hands, stomp your feet,
Wiggle all around.
Reach your hands high in the air,
And now let’s touch the ground.
Hold your head, hold your hips,
Give yourself a hug.
Sit yourself upon the ground and do not make a sound. SHHHHH!

From Jbrary

Shake Our Sillies Out

We’re gonna shake, shake, shake our sillies out,
Shake, shake, shake our sillies out,
Shake, shake, shake our sillies out,
And wiggle our waggles away.

We’re gonna clap, clap, clap, our crazies out,
We’re Gonna jump, jump, jump our jiggles out,
We’re gonna stretch, stretch, stretch our stretchies out,

Two Little Blackbirds

Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill.
One named Jack and one named Jill.
Fly away Jack, flay away Jill.
Come back Jack, come back Jill.

Two little blackbirds flying in the sky.
One named Low and one named High…

Two little blackbirds sitting on a pole.
One named Fast and one named Slow…

Two little blackbirds sitting on a car…
One named near and one named far…

Two little blackbirds sitting on a cloud…
One named quiet and one named loud…

Mr. Sun by Raffi

Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Please shine down on me.
Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Hiding behind a tree.
These little children are asking you,
To please come out so we can play with you.
Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun.
Please shine down on, please shine down on,
Please shine down on me.

Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Please shine down on me.
Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Hiding behind a tree.
These little children are asking you,
To please come out so we can play with you.
Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun.
Please shine down on, please shine down on,
Please shine down on me.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear

Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch your knees
Teddy bear, teddy bear, sit down please

Goodbye Songs

We Wave Goodbye Like This

We wave goodbye like this.
We wave goodbye like this.
We clap our hands for all our friends.
We wave goodbye like this.

Tickle the Clouds

Tickle the clouds
Tickle your toes
Turn around
And tickle your nose
Reach down low
Reach up high
Storytime’s over
So wave goodbye!

It’s Time to Say Goodbye by Dr. Jean
(to She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain)
It is time to say good-bye to all my friends.
It is time to say good-bye to all my friends.
It is time to say good-bye,
Give a smile and wink your eye. (Smile and wink.)
It is time to say good-bye to all my friends. (Clap.)
Good bye, friends. (Wave.) Yee haw! (Fist in the air.)
