Baby Rhymetime 16th March 2016

Opening Song: Hello Song* 

Welcome song* 

Bubble Song  
I blew bubbles
Everybody look at me. 
Pretty bubbles you will see.
Red and green and yellow, too, 
Floating through the air for you.
Will they break before they land? 
Can you catch one in your hand.

Story: Baby parade by Rebecca O'Connell

Round and round the garden
Round and round the haystack
Trace a circle in baby's palm
Went the little mouse
One step, two steps
Walk fingers up baby's arm
In his little house
Tap top of baby's head.

Grand Old Duke of York
Oh, the Grand Old Duke of York
Bounce baby during marching
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again
And when they were up they were up
Lift baby in the air
And when they were down they were down
Lower baby back on to lap
And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down.

Incy Wincy Spider  
Incy Wincy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed poor Incy out.
Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain.
So Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again.

Trot along Josie
Bounce slowly
Trot along trot along
Trot along Josie
Trot along trot along
Trot along Jo.
Bounce faster
Gallop on gallop on
Gallop on Josie
Gallop on gallop on
Gallop on Jo. 

BINGO
There was a farmer who had a dog
And Bingo was his name-O
B-I-N-G-O!       

B-I-N-G-O!
B-I-N-G-O!
And Bingo was his name-O.

Giddyap, Giddyap
    Giddyap, giddyap, ride to town,  
bounce baby on knees, facing forward
Giddyap, giddyap, up and down
    lift your legs up and down, holding on to your baby
Giddyap fast!  
    bounce quickly
Giddyap slow!  
    bounce slowly
Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap, WHOA!  
    dip baby backwards gently.

    Where is baby?
    Where is baby? Where is baby?
There (s) he is! There (s) he is!
I'm so glad to see you
I'm so glad to see you
Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo!

Baby Rhymetime 9th March 2016

Opening Song: Hello Song* 

Welcome song* 

Bubble Song  
I blew bubbles
Everybody look at me. 
Pretty bubbles you will see.
Red and green and yellow, too, 
Floating through the air for you.
Will they break before they land? 
Can you catch one in your hand.

Two Little Blackbirds
Two little blackbirds sitting on a wall
(hold both hands up)
One named Peter, one named Paul
(wave one hand, then the other)
Fly away Peter! Fly away Paul!
(move each hand behind your back)
Come back Peter! Come back Paul!
(bring each hand back to the front). 

Mother and father and Uncle John
Mother and father and Uncle John
Went to town one by one.
Mother fell off
Dip baby to left
And father fell off
Dip baby to right

But Uncle John went on and on and on...
Bounce baby quickly up and down. 

I'm A Little Teapot 
I'm a little teapot short and stout
Here is my handle and here is my spout  
When I get all steamed up then 
I shout "Tip me over and pour me out!" 

Pussy Cat
Pussy cat, pussy cat
Where have you been?
I have been to London
To visit the queen.
Pussy cat, pussy cat
What did you there?
I frightened a little mouse
under the chair. 

Going to Kentucky
Bounce baby
Oh' we're going to Kentucky
We're going to the fair
To see the pretty ladies
With the flowers in their hair

Shake it baby shake it!
Shake it if you can
Shake it like a milkshake
and shake it once again

Roll it to the bottom
Roll it to the top
Turn around and turn around
until I holler STOP!  

Pat-a-cake
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake
Pat hand or clap rhythm
Baker's man
Bake me a cake just as fast as you can
Pat it and roll it and mark it with B
Trace the letter B in baby's palm
And put it in the oven for baby and me.

Bounce, tickle and hug
Bounce baby
I bounce you here,
I bounce you there,
I bounce you, bounce you, everywhere!
Tickle baby
I tickle you here,
I tickle you there,
I tickle you, tickle you everywhere!
Hug baby
I hug you here, 
I hug you there,
I hug you, hug you everywhere!

Dancing Scarves
(sing to "Looby Loo")
Here we go up and down
Here we go up and down
Here we go up and down
Watching our scarves dance

Other verses
...side to side...
...front to back...
...fast and slow...
I gave each child a scarf to do with the rhyme.

Book: The very hungry caterpillar by Eric Carle

Bounce, bounce up and down  
Bounce baby  
Bounce, bounce, up and down
Bounce, bounce all around  
Bouncing fast Bouncing slow
Bounce, bounce... BOOM! 

Hey Diddle Diddle     
Hey, diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Little frog
Bounce baby       
A little frog in a pond am I
Hippity hippity hop
And I can bounce in the air so high
Hippity hippity hop.

Little Miss Muffet
Little Miss Muffet, sat on a tuffet.
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider
who sat down beside her.
And frightened Miss Muffet away.



Trot Old Joe
Bounce baby
Walk Old Joe, Walk Old Joe
You walk better than any horse I know

You trot better than any horse I know

Bounce even faster
Gallop Old Joe, Gallop Old Joe
You gallop faster than any horse I know
Lean back
Whoahhhh Joe!

 I can bounce
 Bounce baby softly
 I can bounce as soft as you
 I can bounce as soft as you
 I can bounce as soft as you
 Bouncing on the spot

 I can bounce as slow as you         
 I can bounce as slow as you 
 I can bounce as slow as you
 Bouncing on the spot
   
 I can bounce as fast as you         
 I can bounce as fast as you 
 I can bounce as fast as you
 Bouncing on the spot.

Book: Where is the green sheep by Mem Fox

Peas Porridge Hot
Clap hands 
Peas porridge hot 
Peas porridge cold  
Peas porridge in the pot  
Nine days old. 
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot
Nine days old. 

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star 
Twinkle, twinkle, little star  
Twinkle fingers
How I wonder what you are 
Up above the world so high
Lift baby up
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star  
Twinkle fingers
How I wonder what you are.

Horsey, Horsey
Bounce baby
Horsey Horsey come ride with me
Across the land, across the sea   
Horsey Horsey come ride with me
But do not let me fall.
Tip baby gently.

A Farmer Went Trotting
A farmer went trotting
Bounce baby on lap
Upon his grey mare
With his daughter behind him
So rosy and fair
Then a duck cried out "Quack"
Lift baby up
And they all tumbled down
Plop baby back onto your lap
Off of the horse
And upside down!
Tip baby gently backwards!

Dickery Dare  
Bounce baby
Dickery dickery dare

The pig flew in the air  
The man in brown soon brought him down
Dickery, dickery dare!

Little Bo-Peep  
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep
and doesn't know where to find them. 
Leave them alone and they will come home,   
wagging their tales behind them.

Little Boy Blue
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn
The cow's in the meadow,
the sheeps in the corn
Where is the little boy who
looks after the sheep?
He's under the haystack, fast asleep.

One, two, three
One, two, three
Bounce your baby
Baby's on my knee
Rooster crows
Crow like a rooster
And away she go-o-o-es
Quickly lower your baby.

Bounce baby

Fiddle de dee, fiddle de dee

The fly has married the bumble bee
They went to church,
And married was she
The fly has married the bumble bee!

Old Mother Hubbard
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard
To get her poor dog a bone
But when she got there the cupboard was bare
And so the poor dog had none.

Round and round the garden
Round and round the haystack
Trace a circle in baby's palm
Went the little mouse
One step, two steps
Walk fingers up baby's arm
In his little house
Tap top of baby's head.


Bumping up and down
Bounce baby
Bumping up and down in
My little red wagon,
Bumping up and down in
My little red wagon,
Bumping up and down in
My little red wagon,
Won't you be my darling.

And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down.

I'm Bouncing 
Bounce your child on your knees 
I'm bouncing, bouncing everywhere, 
I bounce and bounce into the air 
I'm bouncing, bouncing like a ball, 
I bounce and bounce, then down I fall. 
Let child slip through your knees.


Where is baby? 
Where is baby? Where is baby?
There (s) he is! There (s) he is!
I'm so glad to see you
