The Listening Song


The Listening Song
(to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It"


If you're listening and you know it, clap your hands.
If you're listening and you know it, stomp your feet.
If you're listening and you know it,
and you really want to show it,
If you're listening and you know it, fold your hands.

I Love My Flag

I love my flag, my country's flag
The red and white and blue.
It has broad stripes and fifty stars,
And stands for freedom, too.

Solar System Song




Solar System Song
sing to the tune of "Yankee Doodle"

The Sun
I am sunshine in the center.
I am hot and churning.
Life on earth depends on me,
So I must keep on burning.

Chorus (repeat after each verse)

Round and round the sun we go,
Never stop or slowing.
Gravity pulls us around,
So we must keep on going.

Mercury
Mercury is mostly iron.
It is small and dusty.
Hot in daytime, cold at night,
There's no air to be gusty.

(repeat chorus)

Venus
Venus is the next in line,
The size of Earth but drier.
Poison gas keeps in the heat.
It is hot like a fire.

(repeat chorus)

Earth
Earth has water, air, and land,
Animals and plants, too,
A moon that travels round each month
And weather we can live through.

(repeat chorus)

Mars
Mars is very bright and red.
It's also dry and cold.
Some day you might visit Mars
If you are really bold.

(repeat chorus)

Jupiter
Jupiter, the distant giant,
Has a famous red spot,
Sixteen moons the last we knew -
We really need to learn a lot.

(repeat chorus)

Saturn
Rings of dust and ice and rock
Surround the gaseous Saturn.
Interesting `cause it makes heat
And glows just like a lantern.

(repeat chorus)

Uranus
Fifteen moon and Uranus
Travel around the sun, too.
Cold and cloudless, also dark,
A thin ring sometimes shows through.

(repeat chorus)

Neptune
Neptune's a planet faraway.
We have only learned a small bit.
Four times larger than the Earth,
Two moons orbit `round it.




(repeat chorus)

Eight planets that we know about,
And moons that orbit with them.
Asteroids and meteors
Make up the solar system.

Round and round the sun we go,
Never stop or slowing.
Gravity pulls us around,
So we must keep on going.

Telling Time


Telling Time
(To the tune of The Wheels on the Bus)
The short hand says its number first,
Number first, number first,
The short hand says its number first,
When we’re telling time.
The long hand is tall and counts by five,
Counts by five, counts by five.
The long hand is tall and counts by five,
When we’re telling time.

This is a Circle


This is a Circle
(to the tune of We Will Rock You)
This is circumference, all around the side.
This is the radius, the middle to the side.
This is the diameter, all the way through.
All of that's a circle, I'll show it to you!

Twelve Inches in a Foot



Twelve Inches in a Foot
by Judy Howe

Inch, inch, so small,
Can you measure how tall?
Foot, foot, my guide,
Can you measure how wide?
Inch, inch, foot, foot.
Inch, foot, inch, foot.
Stop! Kaput!
Twelve inches in a foot.

Clock Song


Clock Song
(to the tune of: Wheels on the Bus)

The hands on the clock go round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
The hands on the clock go round and round.
To tell us the time.
The short hand on the clock
Goes from number to number,
Number to number, number to number.
The short hand on the clock
Goes from number to number.
To tell us the time.

The long hand on the clock
Goes around by fives,
Around by fives, around by fives.
The long hand on the clock
Goes around by fives.
To tell us the minutes.

And Even was his name-o.

And Even was his name-o.

There was a farmer who had a cow,
And Odd was her name-o.

When the Numbers March Right In!


(To the Tune of: When the Saints Go Marching In)
Oh, When the numbers march right in,
Oh, when the numbers march right in.
We will count them one by one,
When the numbers march right in.
Oh, one-two-three
and Four-five-six,
And Seven-eight and nine and ten.
When we finish all our numbers,
We will count them once again.

I Can Count

(to the tune of Hokey Pokey)

You put one finger up

You put one finger down

You put one finger up

And you shake it all around

You give it a shakey-shakey

And you turn it all about

That's how you learn to count!

(continue singing about as many number as desired)
