Baby Rhymetime 10th February 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.

Clap Your Hands
Clap, clap, clap your hands, as slowly as you can...
Clap, clap, clap your hands, as quickly as you can!

Shake, shake, shake your hands, as slowly as you can...
Shake, shake, shake your hands, as quickly as you can!

Wave, wave, wave your hands, as slowly as you can...
Wave, wave, wave your hands, as quickly as you can!

Trot along to Boston  

Trot along to Boston   

Bounce baby on knees  

Trot along to Lynn    

Watch out baby or you might fall in  

Support baby and dip backwards  

Trot along to London  

Bounce baby on knees  

Trot along to Dover  

Watch out baby or you might fall over.  

Dip baby backwards.  

Little Peter Rabbit
Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose,
Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose, 
Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose, 
And he flipped it and he flapped it and it flew away.

Cobbler, Cobbler  

Cobbler, cobbler mend my shoe

Have it done by half past two

Half past two is much too late!  

Get it done by half past eight. 

Smooth Road
Bounce baby
A smooth road, a smooth road, 
A smooth road, a smooth road,

A bumpy road, a bumpy road,
A bumpy road, a bumpy road,

A rough road, a rough road,
A rough road, a HOLE!

Muffin Man 
Bounce baby  
Oh, do you know the Muffin Man  
The Muffin man, the Muffin man?  
Oh, do you know the Muffin Man  
Who lives on Drury Lane?

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

Humpty Dumpty 
Humpty Dumpty up,
And Humpty Dumpty down
Humpty Dumpty to the left,
Humpty Dumpty to the right,
Humpty Dumpty all around.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
Poor Humpty Dumpty.

Are you sleeping
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping
Brother John! Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing,
Morning bells are ringing
Ding dang, dong.
Ding dang, dong.

Baby Rhymetime 3rd February 2016

At Bowral Library we run a Baby rhymetime every Wednesday at 10.30am for children 0-2 years.

Older siblings are also welcome to come along.

This is a run down of what I do each week:

I open and close with the same songs every week. I read one book then we sing some songs.

When we finish our songs and stories I get out a bag of musical instruments. I put on a CD and play 4 or 5 songs and the children dance and play their instruments. Some weeks I give out scarves and we fly our scarves to a scarf song. Most weeks I also blow some bubbles while the parents and grandparents sing a bubble song.We then finish off with a bag of books that I put out for children to share with parents or grandparents. It's lovely to see how excited the children get when I bring out a bag of board books for sharing.

Here is what I repeat each week :

OPENING SONG:

This is the wave we wave hello

This is the way we wave hello

Wave hello, wave hello

This is the way we wave hello,

Hello, hello, hello!

WELCOME SONG:

Wecome everyone

Welcome, welcome, everyone

Now your here, we'll have some fun.

First we'll clap our hands just so

Then we'll bend and touch our toe.

Welcome, welcome, everyone

Now your here, we'll have some fun.

CLOSING SONG:

Goodbye song

Open, shut them

Open, shut them
Raise your hands up high

Open, shut them

Open, shut them

Wave and say goodbye.

Each week I add my program for that week to this blog. Some of you may want to sing some of the rhymes at home with your children.

I look forward to seeing you at baby rhymetime.
