Songs and rhymes to share:
5 Green Frogs
(count on fingers)
…on a hot hot day in July…
Five green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Then there were 4 green speckled frogs
Glub Glub
…repeat with 4, 3, 2,1…
Then there were no green speckled frogs
Glub Glub
Summer Day
The summer sun shines over head
(form circle with arms)
And clouds float calmly by
(float hands in air)
We lie down on a grassy bed
(hands behind head looking up)
Mr. Sun
Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. Golden sun (form circle with arms)
Please shine down on me
(point to self)
Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. Golden sun (form circle with arms)
Hiding behind a tree
(hide eyes)
These little children are asking you
To please come out so we can play with you
Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. Golden sun (form circle with arms)
Please shine down on me
(point to self)
In The Swimming Pool
sing to “Sailing Sailing “
Swimming, swimming, in the swimming pool
When it’s hot, when it’s cool
In the swimming pool
Front stroke, side stroke
Fancy diving too
Wouldn’t it be nice
If we had nothing else to do!
