How Much Is That Doggie?

HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE?

How much is that doggie in the window? (woof, woof)

The one with the waggley tail

How much is that doggie in the window? (woof, woof)

I do hope that doggie's for sale

I must take a trip to California

And leave my poor sweetheart alone

If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome

And the doggie will have a good home

How much is that doggie in the window? (woof, woof)

The one with the waggley tail

How much is that doggie in the window? (woof, woof)

I do hope that doggie's for sale

I read in the paper there are robbers (woof, woof)

With flashlights that shine in the dark

If he has a doggie to protect him

He’ll scare them away with one bark

I don't want a bunny or a kitty (meow, meow)

I don't want a parrot that talks

I don't want a bowl of little fishies (beep, boop)

He can't take a goldfish for a walk

How much is that doggie in the window? (woof, woof)

The one with the waggley tail

How much is that doggie in the window? (woof, woof)

I do hope that doggie's for sale

Children would definitely like this song, because they simply love animals. The actions can be doing animal sounds as written in the brackets.

Wind The Bobbin Up

WIND THE BOBBIN UP

Wind the Bobbin up
Wind the bobbin up
Pull, Pull
Clap, Clap, Clap

Wind it back again
Wind it back again
Pull, Pull
Clap, Clap, Clap

Point to the ceiling
Point to the floor
Point to the window
Point to the door
Clap your hands together 1,2,3
Put your hands upon your knee

This song has very fun and nice movements. We basically do what we sing in the song.
We can sing it 3 or 4 times and each time we sing a bit faster, or we can sing as fast as we can until we can't sing faster.

Five Little Speckled Frogs

Five little speckled frogs

Five little speckled frogs

Sitting on a hollow log

Eating the most delicious bugs

yum! yum!

One jumped into the pool

where it was nice and cool

Now there are four speckled frogs.

Four little speckled frogs

Sitting on a hollow log

Eating the most delicious bugs

yum! yum!

One jumped into the pool

where it was nice and cool

Now there are three speckled frogs.

etc.

To this one are some really nice movements, also in Art class children can make 5 frogs and then sing the song with their own frogs.

Black Socks

Black Socks

Black socks, they never get dirty

The longer you wear them, the stronger they get

Sometimes I think I should wash them

But something inside me keeps saying

Not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet …

We always aks who has black socks. Then we sing this song acouple of times. Each time pretending by holding our noses that the sock get dirtier and dirtier.

Wheels On The Bus

WHEELS ON THE BUS

The wheels on the bus go round and round,

round and round, round and round.

The wheels on the bus go round and round,

all through the town.

The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish;

Swish, swish, swish; swish, swish, swish.

The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish,

all through the town.

The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep;

Beep, beep, beep; beep, beep, beep.

The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep,

all through the town.

The Driver on the bus says "Move on back,

move on back, move on back;"

The Driver on the bus says "Move on back",

all through the town.

The money on the bus goes, Clink, clink, clink;

Clink, clink, clink; clink, clink, clink.

The money on the bus goes, Clink, clink, clink,

all through the town.

The people on the bus go up and down,

Up and down, up and down

The people on the bus do up and down

all through the town.

Children really love this song. We sing in pair pretending that we're in a real bus and there is a bus driver sitting on a chair. When the driver is a really good actor and shouts "Move on back!" children are astonished.

I'm A Little Teapot

I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT

I'm a little teapot, short and stout

Here is my handle [one hand on hip], here is my spout [other arm out straight]

When I get all steamed up, hear me shout

Just tip me over and pour me out!

[as song ends, lean over and tip arm out like a spout]

I'm a clever teapot, yes it's true

Here's an example of what I can do

I can change my handle to my spout [switch arm positions and repeat tipping motion]

Just tip me over and pour me out

It's a really lovely song also with movements, which are already included in this song. Well, I think it's very relevant to British children or just teaching English and their culture. Also we can brew our own cups of tea and then sing this song with children.

I like the flowers

I LIKE THE FLOWERS

I like the flowers, I like the daffodils.
I like the mountains, I like the green hills.
I like the firestone, I like to walk alone

Doo-waka doo-waka doo-waka doo-waka

This one is without any activity, but it is a very lovely song and some activity can be made up.

If You're Happy And You Know It

IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands (clap clap)
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands (clap clap)
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. (clap clap)

If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet (stomp stomp)
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet (stomp stomp)
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet. (stomp stomp)

If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (hoo-ray!)
If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (hoo-ray!)
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (hoo-ray!)

If you're happy and you know it, do all three (clap-clap, stomp-stomp, hoo-ray!)
If you're happy and you know it, do all three (clap-clap, stomp-stomp, hoo-ray!)
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, do all three. (clap-clap, stomp-stomp, hoo-ray!)

This song is similar to our Czech or the tune is, but I can’t really remember which one it is in Czech. Also it’s maybe a bit similar to Hokey Pokey and there are moves too.

The Eensy Weensy Spider

THE EENSY WEENSY SPIDER

The eensy weensy spider
Crawled up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the eensy weensy spider
Crawled up the spout again.

This is very lovely, short, but entertaining song, because it’s performed with fingers activity which represents spider.
