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.

Odd & Even Song

(to the tune of BINGO)

There was a farmer who had a pig,
And Even was his name-o.
0, 2, 4, 6, 8; 0, 2, 4, 6, 8; 0, 2, 4, 6, 8;
And Even was his name-o.

There was a farmer who had a cow,
And Odd was her name-o.
1, 3, 5, 7, 9; 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; 1, 3, 5, 7, 9;
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)

Read a Book

(to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.”)

Read, read, read a book,

Beginning to the end.

What a way to spend the day

A book’s a special friend.

Read, read, read a book!

Travel anywhere!

Worldwide—you decide!

A book will take you there!

Contraction Song

(To the Tune ofLondon Bridge)

I'm the first word don't change me,

don't change me,

don't change me.

I'm the first word don't change me -

just let me be.

Certain letters are taken out

taken out,

taken out.

Certain letters are taken out -

a shorter word you'll see.

Apostrophe will fill that space

fill that space,

fill that space,

Apostrophe will fill that space -

one word will remain.
