Nursery Rhyme Medley
Let's all play a rhyming song.
The first time you can sing along.
Then I'll leave off the end of each line,
And you fill in the word that rhymes.
Humpty Dumpty...
Little Boy Blue...
Jack and Jill...
Twinkle, Twinkle...
Hickory Dickory Dock...
Baa Baa Black Sheep...
Ride That Pony
(Each child will need a partner
before doing this line dance.)
Ride, ride, ride that pony,
(clap to beat)
Get up and ride that big, black pony.
Ride, ride, ride that pony.
This is what they told me.
Front, front, front, my baby.
(clap hands in air)
Side, to side, to side, my baby.
(bump hips)
Back, back, back, my baby,
(touch backs)
This is what they told me.
(find a new partner)

Hand
Dancing
(This is a dance children can do with their arms.)
Monkey - Put your fists out in front of you and

Hitch hike Ð Stick up thumbs and move them
back and forth in front of you.

Funky Chicken Ð Make arms like wings and flap.
Batman Ð Make V's with hands and sweep in

Junior
Birdmen
(Make circles with index fingers and thumbs and hold around eyes
like goggles.)
Up in the air, Junior Birdmen.
Up in the air, upside down.
Up in the air, Junior Birdmen.
Keep your noses off the ground.
And when you hear the grand announcement
That their wings are made of tin.
Then you will know the Junior Birdmen
Have sent their box tops in.
It takes five box tops,
Four labels,
Three coupons,
Two bottle
caps,
And
one thin dime.
