Songs we sang today:

10 In The Bed (Rhythm Stick Style!)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (tap sticks 10 times)
There were 10 in the bed and the little one said
Roll over, roll over,
So they all rolled over and one fell out
And they gave a little scream, and they gave a little shout
PLEASE REMEMBER to tie a knot in your pajamas!
Single beds are only made for....

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (tap sticks 9 times)
There were 9 in the bed and the little one said...
(continue until there is one monkey left)

There was 1 in the bed and the little one said
"I got the whole mattress to myself,
I got the whole mattress to myself,
I got the whole mattress to myself,
I got the mattress to myself!!"

The Fairy Dance

One fairy dancing in a soft shoe
Dancing in a line, now there are two.

Two fairies dancing just like me
Dancing in a line, now there are three.

Three fairies dancing tapping on the floor
Dancing in a line, now there are four.

Four fairies dancing a bright and happy jive
Dancing in a line, now there are five.

Five fairies dancing, see their lovely kicks?
Dancing in a line, now there are six.

Six fairies dancing, arms up to heaven
Dancing in a line, now there are seven.

Seven fairies dancing, a lively horsey gait
Dancing in a line, now there are eight.

Eight fairies dancing, a ballet step so fine
Dancing in a line, now there are nine.

Nine fairies dancing, let's do it all again
Dancing in a line, now there are ten.

Ten fairies dancing having so much fun
Dancing in a line, and now there are none.
