Little Red Wagon
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,
Having so much fun
Here come my friends in their little red wagons...
Pull me around in my little red wagon...
Turn me around in my little red wagon...

Lady (side saddle)
Astronaut (jumping)
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon...
Row, row, row your boat
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Though the way is
Rough and stony
Go and never stop,

Your mood caries to baby, with these
rhymes baby begins to experience the
joy of anticipation
MONTH 1
Open Shut them
Open, shut them, open, shut them,
Give a little clap!
Open, shut them, open, shut them,
Lay them in your lap!
Creep them, crawl them, creep them, crawl them,
Right up to your chin.
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in!
Little Cheek
Little cheek, Little chin,
This is where the food comes in.
Little eyes, Little nose,
Now I’ll kiss your little toes.
Round and Round the
Garden
Round and round the Garden,
Went the Teddy Bear.
One step. Two step.
Tickley under there!
Round and round the garden
Like a little Mouse
One step, two step
Into his little house
Slowly, Slowly
Slowly, slowly, very slowly
Creeps the garden snail.
Slowly, slowly, very slowly
Up the garden rail.
Quickly, quickly, very quickly
Runs the little mouse.
Quickly, quickly, very quickly
Round about the house.

You have had your rest,
Listen to the sounds around that you like best.

Listen to the sounds around that you like best.

This little Piggy
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy went
Wee wee wee wee
All the way home
How to read a story

make up songs for things you do each
day
eg “I’m cut, cut, cutting the carrots...”
Incy Wincy Spider
Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed poor Incy out.
Out came the sunshine, and dried up all the rain.
So Incy Wincy Spider, climbed up the spout
again.
Rock-a-Bye Baby
Rock-a-bye Baby,
On the tree top.
When the wind blows,
the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall.
And down will come Baby,
Cradle and all.
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are.
Goodbye
(To the tune of London Bridge is Falling down)
