Songs IN Group (SING)
Welcome circle leader duty parents! Each circle time lasts 20 minutes. During this time you
will lead the group in a combination of parachute play, games, activities and songs. Reading a
simple story with large pictures is also encouraged. Feel free to choose a few of the following
activities or a choice of your own.
Parachute play:

MAKING POPCORN - Children and parents stand in a circle holding onto parachute.
Several foam balls are placed on top of parachute and the children help to make the corn
pop into the air.

ABC VOLLEYBALL - Children and parents stand in a circle holding onto parachute.
The group then bounces the ball once for each letter in the alphabet. The group calls the
letters out loud during each bounce. Try not to drop the ball. This takes practice.

ABC CHILDREN - Children and parents stand in a circle holding onto parachute. The
group then slowly says the ABC’s. As each letter of the alphabet is called the children
whose name starts with that letter runs and sits under the parachute until the alphabet is
over and all the children are sitting under the parachute.

MERRY GO ROUND - Children and parents hold the parachute with one hand and turn
their bodies forward. They then do the actions dictated in the lyrics. To the tune of “Here
we go round the mulberry bush” the group sings the words: “This is the way we walk to
school, walk to school, walk to school. This is the way we walk to school so early in the
morning.” During this verse the children walk around in a circle holding the parachute.
Then the song and actions can be Hop, Skip, Tiptoe, Dance etc.

GRAND OL’ DUKE OF YORK - Children and parents sing the song and do the actions
of the lyrics with the parachute. (Lyrics below)

STORMY OCEAN - Half of children stand on top of parachute while the other children
and parents shake the parachute and make waves. Then switch so all of the children get a
turn.

AIR CONDITIONER - Half of children lie on ground under the parachute while the other
children and the parents mushroom the parachute up and quickly pull it down again,
fanning the children underneath it. Then switch so all of the children get a turn.

BOUNCING TREATS - On holiday party days, special treats can be bounced on the
parachute for the children to keep. Some ideas are: Halloween treats, candy canes,
chocolate hearts, Easter treats etc.

PING PONG NAMES - Paper cut outs of seasonal items; leaves, pumpkins, snow flakes,
hearts, shamrocks, Easter eggs, butterflies, etc. The monthly craft leader can trace out
enough shapes for all of the children in their group. Then they print the children’s names
on them with a bold pen. Then all of the names are put on the parachute and bounced
around. Once all of them have bounced off stop the parachute and let the children look
around and find their names.
Games and activities:

HUGS - The children run around the play area, doing whatever they feel like. When the
leader shouts “Hug!” each player finds someone to hug. Then the leader says “Go!” and
the players are off on their own once again.

MUSICAL HUGS - This can be done to music, with the partners running when the music
is being played and hugging when it stops.

ALPHABET BALL - Children and parents sit in a circle. They pass a ball from person to
person. As each person passes it on to the next they say a letter of the alphabet. This can
also be done with the entire group saying the letters together as the ball is passed around.

SEWING UP THE GAPS - Children and parents stand in a circle with their arms at their
sides. One player runs into and out of the circle. Every time that person passes between
two circle players, those two join hands to “sew up” the gaps. Soon the entire group will
be holding hands.

THE MORE WE PLAY TOGETHER - Children and parents sit facing each other in a
circle. Each player places their hands on the shoulders of the neighbours on either side.
Now everyone sways from side to side and sings “The more we play together” song.
(lyrics below)

JACK IN THE BOX - Children and parents sit facing each other in a circle. One parent
starts by saying the name of her child. As their name is spoken, that child jumps up and
quickly sits down again, just like a jack-in-the-box. Then the parent next in the circle
says the name of her child. This continues around the circle until all of the children have
had a turn to be a jumping jack. Alternatively the circle time leader can call out the
names of the children.

SLEEPING BUNNIES - Children pretend to be asleep. Parents gently rub their backs
while singing the song. Parents wake up their little bunnies by gently shaking or tickling
them. The bunnies then hop around while the parents clap. (This is always a favourite
game). (lyrics below)

ZOOM ZOOM - Parents and children sit in a circle and sing the song. During the zoom
zoom verses each person rubs their own hands together, right, left and right. During the
next verses each person presses their own hands together and moves them in a swaying
motion. When the count down begins the parents stand up. At Blast off, Parents scoop
their child up and lift them high in the air. (lyrics below)

GRAND OL’ DUKE OF YORK - Children sit on their parents’ knees. As the song is
sung, Parents lift their knees up and down and left and right, as the lyrics dictate. At the
end of the song parents pretend to tip them off their knees to one side. (lyrics below)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANIMALS - Divide the children into 4 groups. Name them Dogs,
Cats, Horses or Pigs etc. They have to pretend to be the animals as you sing Happy
Birthday to you. When it comes to “Happy birthday dear Dogs” for example all of the
dogs bark as loud as they can. Finish the game by singing “Happy birthday everyone”
when all of the children make their animal noises together.

CLAP MY NAME - Children and parents sit in a circle facing the middle. Circle leader,
or parents can ask each child their name, going around the circle. When the child says
her name, you then clap the syllables and then get all the children to copy it. So, for
example, if the child’s name was Madeline, you’d clap three times as you said “Ma – deline.”

WHO CAN BUILD A TOWER? - Children and parents sit in a circle facing the middle.
Each child is given a cardboard or duplo block. Start the game by putting a block in the
centre of the circle. Going around the circle, each child in turn adds a block to help to
build the tower until it topples. The next child in the circle starts off the new tower.
Build the excitement by counting out loud, and give a big clap to each toddler who
attempts to place a block on the tower.

BUBBLES - Circle leader sits on the floor and blows bubbles for the children to play
with.

LITTLE AIRPLANES – Sung to the tune of: I’m a little teapot
I'm a little airplane,
(children raise arms at sides to shoulder height.)
Now watch me fly!
(They spin one of their arms in front of them as if it were a propeller)
Here are my instruments
From down low to up high.
(With their other arm, they reach from the ground to above their heads.)
First I get revved up.
(Children make engine noises while still spinning their arms.)
Then I can fly,
(Children raise arms to shoulder height.)
Lifting off the runway
(They start walking forward.)
Up into the sky!
(They go up on their tiptoes and continue to move forward. Let them circle awhile before
returning to their original positions.)

STAND UP AND SAY HOO - RAY! – Tune: Muffin man
If you're wearing red today,
Red today, red today,
If you're wearing red today,
Stand up and say "Hoo-ray!"
Continue with blue, pants, stripes, skirts etc, until all of the children are standing up.
Songs:
Grand ol’ Duke of York
Muffin Man
The grand ol’ Duke of York
He had ten thousand men,
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
Do you know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man?
Do you know the muffin man
Who lives on drury lane?
When they were up, they were up
When they were down, they were down,
When they were only halfway up,
They were neither up nor down.
Yes I know the muffin man
The muffin man, the muffin man.
Yes I know the muffin man
Who lives on drury lane.
He marched them to the right,
He marched them to the left,
He marched them all around the town
And he marched them out of sight.
We all know the muffin man
The muffin man, the muffin man.
We all know the muffin man
Who lives on drury lane.
Sleeping Bunnies
The more we play together
See the bunnies sleeping,
Till it’s nearly noon,
Come let us wake them
With a merry tune.
Oh so still, are they ill?
Wake up little bunnies,
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
All day long.

Words and Music By: Terry Kluytmans
Copyright © 2000 Terry Kluytmans
Can you be a sunbeam,
A sunbeam, a sunbeam?
Can you be a sunbeam?
Then show me what you'd do.
I can be a sunbeam,
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
I can be a sunbeam,
And I'll shine down on you!
(Hands clasped together, arms high,
make a large circle like the sun.)
I can be a flower,
A flower, a flower.
I can be a flower,
Growing just for you!
(Children in kneeling position,
slowly 'growing' to stand big and tall)
Can you be a buzzing bee,
A buzzing bee, a buzzing bee?
Can you be a buzzing bee?
Then show me what you'd do.
I can be a buzzing bee,
A buzzing bee, a buzzing bee.
I can be a buzzing bee,
With honey sweet for you!
('Buzz' around like a bee)
(While this song centers around
nature, you could try a 'farm animals'
or a 'zoo' theme!)
Five Little Monkeys
Can you be a raindrop,
A raindrop, a raindrop?
Can you be a raindrop?
Then show me what you'd do.
I can be a raindrop,
A raindrop, a raindrop.
I can be a raindrop,
So here's some rain for you!
(Arms in the air, fingers floating down like
rain)
Can you be a flower,
A flower, a flower?
Can you be a flower?
Then show me what you'd do.

It’s a Small World
It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to ev'ryone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world

Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
It followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day
Which was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school
And so the teacher turned it out,
Turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near
And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
Love Mary so? Love Mary so?
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cry
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
Lamb you know,
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
The teacher did reply
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of Spaghetti,
all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball
when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table
and onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball
rolled out of the door.
Quack, quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack
He led the others
With a quack, quack, quack
It rolled down the garden
and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball
was nothing but mush!
Down to the river
They would go
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble,
To and fro
But the one little duck
With the feather on his back
He led the others
With a quack, quack, quack
The mush was as tasty
as tasty could be,
And then the next summer
it grew into a tree.
Quack, quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack
He led the others
With a quack, quack, quack
The tree was all covered
all covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs
all covered with sauce.
Back from the river
They would come
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble,
Ho, hum, hum
But the one little duck
With the feather on his back
He led the others
With a quack, quack, quack
So if you have spaghetti
all covered with cheese,
Hold onto your meatball
'cause someone might sneeze.
Six Little Ducks
(Tune: Six little ducks)
Six little ducks
That I once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones,
Fair ones, too
But the one little duck
With the feather on his back
He led the others
With a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack
He led the others
With a quack, quack, quack
Six Little Dogs
(Tune: Six little ducks)
Six little dogs that I once knew,
fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too.
But the one little dog

Your valentine, your valentine.
Oh, yes, I'll be your valentine,
And love you every day.
Down By the Station
Down by the station
Early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies
All in a row
See the station master
Turn the little handle
Puff, puff, toot, toot
Off we go!
Head and Shoulders
Head and shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes, knees and toes
Head and shoulders, knees and toes
Eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!
Tiny Tim
There was a little turtle,
His name was tiny tim.
I put him in the bathtub to see if he could
swim.
He drank up all the water,
He ate up all the soap,
And now he is in the bathtub,
With a bubble in his throat.
Bubble, bubble,bubble,
Bubble, bubble, bubble,
Bubble, bubble, bubble,
Bubble, bubble, pop!
Will You be my Valentine?
(Tune: The Muffin Man)
Oh, will you be my valentine?
My valentine? My valentine?
Oh, will you be my valentine?
And love me every day?
This is the Way the Lady Rides
(bounce child on lap, tune of ‘Here We Go
Round the Mulberry Bush’)
This is the way the ladies ride, the ladies
ride, the ladies ride.
This is the way the ladies ride, so early in
the morning!
(bounce a little higher)
This is the way the gentlemen ride, the
gentlemen ride, the gentlemen ride.
This is the way the gentlemen ride, so early
in the morning!
(now bounce all over the place!)
This is the way the cowboys ride, the
cowboys ride, the cowboys ride.
This is the way the cowboys ride so early in
the morning! YEEE HAW!!!
Ring Around the Rosy
Ring around the rosy,
A pocket full of posies
Husha husha we all fall down!
Cows are in the meadow, eating buttercups
Husha husha we all stand up!
Ring around the rosy,
A pocket full of posies
Husha husha we all fall down!
Fishies in the ocean, fishies in the sea
We all jump up, 1 2 3!
