Take turns being the song leader. Change how fast or slow you sing. Make the “stop” times longer and shorter. Add in different things to shake (for example, “shake your hands, shake ‘em, shake ‘em, stop!). Don’t be surprised if the song ends in giggles.

Hokey Pokey

Music to dance to and lots of

space to dance in!!

The purposes of this song are to work on body mechanics (moving through space), changing movements to match the music, and to have some fun.

Use your favorite moving and grooving tunes to keep everyone dancing!

Kitchen Band

Materials:

Plastic bowls, cups, spoons,

containers with lids

Take items from the kitchen for a percussion band. Play a beat using spoons as drumsticks and bowls or cups as drums.

If you would like, you can use music like Trashing the Camp from Disney’s Tarzan as accompaniment, but often your own music is more than enough!! Keep up the band until you all get tired. Try different types of containers to see if there are different sounds.

Audio or visual files for use –links and music

Chore Song - Piggyback

Materials:

Paper to write down your lyrics

What chores do your children do? Write a song to help them remember what to do and to motivate them to get the job done. Use a familiar song (one you know really well) and change the words.

For example, sing the following words to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

Pick up toys and put in the box. Do it quickly, in the box. Keep on going ‘til we’re through. You help me and I’ll help you. Pick up toys and put in the box. Toys are put away in the box!


Make A Silly Sound

Materials:

All you need is your voice!!

What kinds of sounds can you make using your voice? Can you make a silly sound? Take turns making sounds until one of you makes a sound that makes the other one laugh.

Hint: for some reason, body noises are almost always funny! Try a burp or a belch in order to win the sound competition!!


The Ants Go Marching

Materials:

None required; OPTIONAL: Version of

the song to accompany – lots of versions on

YouTube

The ants go marching one by one, hoorah, hoorah. The ants go marching one by one, hoorah, hoorah! The ants go marching one by one, the little one stops to suck his thumb, and they all go marching down to the ground when the rain starts to fall, boom, boom, boom.

Two by two – tie his shoe Three by three – rub his kneeFour by four – shut the door Five by five – dance the jiveSix by six – pick up sticks Seven by seven – look (or pray) to heavenEight by eight – shut the gate Nine by nine – fall in lineTen by ten – do it again

Belly Breathing

Materials:

A place to lie down on your

back

Find a place to lie down. Relax your body and pay attention to your breathing. See how your stomach moves up and down when you are relaxed? That is belly breathing. Breathe deeply and with your stomach movements for a couple of minutes.

Try standing up and still breathe with your belly movement. Can you move your stomach when you breathe in now? If you can, keep breathing deeply. If you can’t, lie down again and practice belly breathing on your back.

Keep trying to belly breathe while sitting. It takes practice

You don’t really need any music for this experience, but you could use some slow, quiet music to help you relax.

Emotion Dance

Materials:

Music and lots of space to jump where you won’t bump other people!!

OPTIONAL: Emotion pictures

The reason for doing this dance is to get in touch with how our body feels when we feel different emotions. The music that you use isn’t as important as how you act during each emotion.

If you decide to use background music, try to find music that either has no emotional connotation or something that is definitely associated with an emotion.

Choose an emotion card and dance that emotion (there is no wrong way to move). Challenge kids and yourself to change your movements as you change emotions.

Suggested Songs for the Emotion Dance:Happy by Pharrell WilliamsIt’s Not That Easy Being Green by Kermit the FrogWhat I’m Feeling by Glyn LehmannWorld music by Mickey Hart –look for music from Planet Drum or Supralingua

My Snowman Feels…

Materials:

Snowman pictures with ways to indicate

emotions. (I use dry erase boards and

markers to draw mine.)

My snowman is happy. He has a great big smile.My snowman is happy. He has a great big smile.My snowman is happy. He has a great big smile.My snowman is happy, he’ll smile ‘til he melts down (Change underlined words for different emotions.)

Angry – a great big frown, frownSad – two crying eyes, cryExcited – a gigantic grin, grinTired – a huge big yawn, yawn

Based on the tune of The Yellow Rose of Texas. Click on the icon for audio.

I Feel…

Materials:

Music OPTIONAL:

emotion pictures

I feel happy, and my body shows how I feel.I feel happy, and my body shows how I feel.I feel happy, and I have a grin, becauseI feel happy, and my body shows how I feel.

Sad – have a frown or start to cryAngry – want to yell or want to leaveExcited – cannot wait or want to goScared – am shaking or want to runMake up your own words for your own verses.

Make Paper Plate TambourinesMaterials:

Heavy-duty paper plates;

Beans, rice, or beads;

Hot glue or thick tape or staples;

Markers or crayons or stickers

Decorate your paper plates using markers or crayons or stickers. Make them as colorful as you want. Place a small handful of beans or rice or beads in one paper plate. Glue the other paper plate upside down on top of the other paper plate. Let the glue dry and then shake away!!

Fast-Slow Motion

Materials:

Background music to groove

to – your choice!

Choose a couple of movements that you do often. These movements can be chores or fun things or a variety. Try doing these movements at regular speed. Then, choose either fast motion or slow motion. Do the movements again at the different speed.

For example, choose putting laundry away in the room. Try picking up the laundry basket and taking it to the room in slow motion. Then, do it again at super-fast speed. Make sounds to indicate whether you are moving fast or slow.

Step to the Beat

Materials:

Music with a strong, steady

beat

Start playing the music. Take a step with each beat. Try stepping every other beat. Try stepping two times per beat.

Make Voice Phones

Materials:

Pringles cans; sharp cutting

implement (for Mom or Dad to use); stickers or contact paper to cover the cans

Making and using voice phones can help kids to hear their voices. It also can assist kids in adjusting their voice volume.

Wipe out Pringles can with a cleaning wipe. Mom or Dad, take the Pringles can and carefully cut two holes about 3.5 inches apart from each other. Place one hole next to ear and start speaking. Decorate your voice phone with contact paper or stickers. If you are really ambitious, you can paint your voice phone. Make sure you let the paint dry completely before you use the voice phones next to your ear!

Let Me Call You Sweetheart

Materials:


Let me call you sweetheart, I’m in love with youLet me hear you whisper that you love me, tooKeep the lovelight glowing in your eyes so trueLet me call you sweetheart, I’m in love with you

Bing Crosby sings a nice version of this song. This also makes a nice lullaby. If you’re baby has blue eyes, you can sing “blue” instead of “true” in the third phrase.

Materials:


Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer doI’m have crazy all for the love of youIt won’t be a stylish marriageI can’t afford a carriageBut you’ll look sweet upon the seatOf a bicycle built for two!

This is a good song to sway or rock to because it’s in ¾ time. You can also bicycle your infant’s legs for some sensory/movement play.

Write a Love Song to Daddy

Materials:

Creativity! Maybe some paper to write your song down. Or your

phone to record it on video.

I love Daddy, yes I do!I know Daddy loves me, too.Daddy likes to (wiggle my toes)And he likes to (beep my nose)I love Daddy, yes I do!I know Daddy loves me, too.

Write a Song to Mommy

Materials:



Here’s some sample lyrics to help you get started, but try to write your own words:

I love, love, love you Mommy!I love you very much!Thank you for taking care of me.I love you very much!

When you’re tired, it can be hard to feel love from your child. Writing this song can help you focus on that love when you’re feeling overwhelmed. One day, your child may sing it to you! Make up a melody or use the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat.

Write a Song to Baby or Sibling

Materials:



Here’s some sample lyrics to help you get started, but try to write your own words:

I love my (child’s name/baby/sister/brother), yes I do!Yes, I do, yes I do!I love my (child’s name/baby/sister/brother), yes I do!Because (he/she) (plays with me/loves me too/is so sweet)

You can sing about your love for your baby, or write a love song from your baby to his or her sibling, or from big sister or brother to baby. If you need a melody, try Mary Had a Little Lamb.

Claire De Lune

Materials:


back. Something to play music

on.

Practice Belly Breathing while listening to this song. You can also listen to it while blowing some bubbles to give a visual relaxation aid and some deep and slow breathing practice as you try to blow big bubbles.

This is a great song by Claude Debussy, which is often used on relaxation CDs. You can also find it on YouTube.

Even Breathing

Materials:


back

Even breathing is breathing in and out for the same amount of time. It helps calm your brain and body when you breathe like this. Using Belly Breathing, breathe in for 4 counts, breathe out for 4 counts – repeat 4 times or until the end of the song. Your child may not be able to do this, but just being near you as you do it will help him or her to practice this type of breathing and eventually s/he’ll be able to do it with you.


Focus on Who We Love

Materials:

A comfortable place to lie down or sit

Practice this with your child, maybe as you nurse or rock to sleep, and then help your child say it when s/he is older. Using Belly Breathing, breathe in and say, “I love ___”. Then breathe out and say the name of someone you love. (Inhale = I love, Exhale = Mommy). It can be like a prayer for each person, or a way to send positive energy to the people you love.


Positive Self-Talk

Materials:

A place to lie down or sit

comfortably.

This is a good way to practice having a positive inner voice. Do this yourself, while you nurse or rock your baby, then when s/he’s older, help him or her try this themselves as a calming activity. Using Belly Breathing, breathe in and say, “I love ___”. Breathe out and say something you love about yourself.


Pots and Pans

Materials:

Some pots or bowls or pans

and wooden or plastic mixing

spoons

Any music will do. Try some Big Band style, like “In The Mood” or “Take the A-Train”

The purpose of this is to make some music and have fun. Put on some fun music, like Big Band music, and play along on pots and pans like drums. You can also sing

your own songs!

Homemade Kazoo

Materials:

A plastic comb and some tissue

or wax paper

Try combs like these.

Grab a comb, fold tissue or wax paper over the teeth, press it against your lips and hum through your Kazoo! Hum along to your favorite songs. Humming helps keep

your sinuses healthy!

Homemade Shakers

Materials:

Empty and dry plastic water

bottles with the lids and dried

beans, uncooked rice, or beads.

Twist and Shout by the Beatles is a good song for shaking!

Put dried beans, or uncooked rice, or beads, or a combination of these into a plastic water bottle. Put on the lid, then shake and sing!

You can change the words to Twist and Shout by singing:Shake it up (name of child), Twist and shout

C’mon, c’mon, c’mon (name of child)Come on and work it on out!

Shake it way up high; now shake it way down lowShake it any way you want to

You’ve just got to let it go

Marching Band

Materials:

None are required, but some pot lids make great cymbals and

plastic containers can make great drums!

Pass out some instruments or pot lids and plastic containers and march to the music!

Singing your own march music encourages children to move along. You could even make up a “Putting Our Toys Away” march to encourage kids to move their kids from one room to another room.

Here’s an example of a clean-up song (lyrics): Pick up, pick up, follow me. Follow me down the hallway. Put away, put away, back down the hallway we go! Do it again!!

Suggested Music:Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa76 Trombones from The Music ManImperial March by John Williams

One Elephant Went Out to Play

Materials: None are required.

Make sure that there is enough space to move like elephants.

This is a fun song for movement. Start with one person wandering around the room, acting like an elephant. When cued by the song, add another person to the walk. You can link using hands only, or you could complicate the movement by sticking one hand between your legs for the other person to hold onto. (This is similar to how elephants hold each other’s tails while moving.

Keep adding people until you run out of people for the line.


Freeze Dancing

Materials:

Music for dancing (either

live or recorded)

Dance when the music happens and freeze when the music stops!

If you are using live music, stop your singing to indicate times to freeze. If you are using recorded music, take turns starting and stopping the music.

Use your favorite music for this dance!

Jumping, Jumping

Materials:

Space to move around

Use this song to get the wiggles out.

Change the word of the song to different movements. For example, “Walking, walking, walk, walk, walk.”

Suggested movements (but make up your own as well!): running, hopping, sliding, crawling, rolling… the options go on and on.


Humming

Materials:

Nothing at all!

Humming is a great way to make music. Some people can hum entire songs. Other people hum on one note. Challenge your child to close his or her lips and then make music.

You can play “Name That Tune” while humming. See if your child can identify familiar songs when you hum and then change roles. See if you can figure out what your child is humming.


Name That Tune

Materials:

None – just use your voice

Take turns singing the melodies of songs that everyone in your family knows. Try to avoid singing words.

Some song suggestions: Children’s songs (Twinkle, Twinkle; Old MacDonald Has a Farm); Popular songs on the radio; Sesame Street songs; Television Theme Songs – anything else your family knows…

You might want to make a list of songs that everyone knows to help when you are trying to think of a song to sing or hum…

This Old Man

Materials:

None needed, but you could use number

magnets or cards to practice counting.

This old man, he plays one, He plays knick knack on my thumb With a knick knack paddy whack, Give a dog a bone. This old man comes rolling home.

Two – shoe Seven – up to heavenThree – knee Eight - gateFour – door Nine - vineFive – hive Ten – all over againSix - sticks


Won’t You Sing?

Materials:

None required at all.

This is another example of a simple song that encourages making sounds. Try changing the underlined words for different ways you can sing.

Won’t you sing, sing? Won’t you sing with me? Won’t you sing, sing? Won’t you sing with me? Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing with me.

Won’t you sing fast? Won’t you sing fast with me? Won’t you sing slowly? Won’t you sing slowly with me? Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing with me.

The Name Game

Materials:



other people!!

This is a silly tongue-twistery type of song that changes names into chants. Think through how names sound with the consonants B, F, and M BEFORE you start to sing (just in case!).

Shirley! Shirley, Shirley bo Birley Bonana fanna fo FirleyFee fy mo Mirley, Shirley! Lincoln! Lincoln, Lincoln bo Bincoln Bonana fanna fo FincolnFee fy mo Mincoln, Lincoln!

Here’s an example of the Name Game Song (on YouTube).

Write a Song about the Color GreenMaterials:

Paper and pencil to write song down. You may want to record

all of you singing the song when you are

through.

To write a song, all you have to do is start to sing something. There is no wrong way to make music, sing, or make a sound.

Here are some tips:• Be brave and make some sound• If you want, use familiar children’s songs as the basis for your melody. (See the piggyback

slide here.)• There is no wrong way to do this.• Let yourself be silly• Write down your words or record everyone singing the song at the end. You’ll want a

record of this music!

Who Loves You?

Materials:

None are required, but pictures of family

members enhance the song

This is a song that reinforces the concept of love. If you are using pictures, show your child the pictures of each person as you sing about them. Have your child sing the song to you.

Change the words of the song to name your own family members. Here is the verse as recorded above:

Who loves you? Who loves you? Mommy loves you, Daddy loves you, that’s who loves you.Who loves you? Who loves you? Brother loves you, Sister loves you, that’s who loves you.

When Irish Eyes are Smiling

Materials:

None required, but a recording of the song can

help with learning.



Up Goes the Castle

Materials:

Music and a place to lie down. OPTIONAL: Small

thing to place on stomach to illustrate

breathing

Find a place to lie down on your back and get comfortable. Start the music or start singing the song. Place the small thing on your stomachs to illustrate the breathing pattern in the song. Make the small thing move up and down as the lyrics indicate.

You could make small castles out of paper, small boxes, or Legos to help your child see what belly breathing looks like during the song.

Make Shaker Egg Instruments

Materials:

Plastic eggs, beans or rice or beads, hot glue

or duct tape

Place a small amount of beans or rice or beads into an egg. An adult should be in charge of gluing the two parts of the egg together. Kids can help with the tape (if that’s what you use).

Make lots of egg shakers with different amounts of things inside. Try different things to put inside.

When the eggs are finished, shake them along with your favorite music or try to find eggs that sound similar to each other.

You can tape spoons to the outside of the egg to make maracas. Maracas are often easier to hold for little ones.

The Garden Song

Materials:


Inch by Inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow, All it takes is a rake and a hoe, and a piece of fertile ground.Inch by inch, row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow.Someone warm them from below, ‘til the rain comes tumbling down.

Pullin’ weeds and picking stones, man is made of dreams and bones.Feel the need to grow my own, ‘cause the time is close at hand.Grain for grain, sun and rain, find my way in nature’s chain.To my body and my brain, to the music of the land. Chorus

Plant your rows straight and long, temper them with prayer and songMother Earth will make you strong, if you give her love and care.Old crow watching hungrily from his perch in yonder treeIn my garden I’m as free as that feathered thief up there. Chorus

This version by John Denver and the Muppets is cute.

Farmer in the Dell

Materials:Space to move and play. You and your child can

also play this using stuffed animals or toys or blocks, instead of people,

to have a game for the two of you that works on

decision-making, rule-following, and imiagination!

The farmer in the dell (2x), Hi-ho the derry-o, the farmer in the dell.The farmer takes a wifeThe wife takes the childThe child takes the nurseThe nurse takes the cowThe cow takes the dogThe dog takes the catThe cat takes the mouseThe mouse takes the cheeseThe cheese stands alone

Players form a circle around the farmer, singing the first verse. When the verse ends, the farmer chooses a “wife”, who joins him in the circle. The new character chooses the next one. The last person chosen becomes the farmer in the next round.

The Green Grass Grew All Around

Up to 11 Instruments!

A sense of humor.

Now on this feather (Now on this feather)There was a flea (There was a flea)The prettiest little flea (The prettiest little flea)That you ever did see (That you ever did see)

Oh, the flea on the feather, And the feather on the bird, And the bird in the nest, And the nest on the leaf, And the leaf on the twig, And the twig on the bough, And the bough on the branch, And the branch on the limb, And the limb on the tree, and the tree in a hole, And the hole in the groundAnd the green grass grew all around, all around; And the green grass grew all around

Sing each verse, with a different instrument. When you get to the chorus, see if you can remember which instrument goes with each instrument.

Tiptoe Through the Tulips

Materials:

Drums! And room to move

around.

Tiptoe by the window, by the window, that’s where I’ll be, Come tiptoe through the tulips with me

Oh, tiptoe by the garden, by the garden of the willow treeCome tiptoe through the tulips with me

Knee deep in flowers we’ll stray. We’ll keep the showers awayAnd if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight will you pardon me? And tiptoe through the tulips with me

Row Your Boat (Partner)

Materials:

Space to sit facing your child

Sit down facing your child. Reach out and hold hands. As one of you leans forward, the other one lies down on the floor. This is a push-pull movement. Rock back and forth, still holding hands. Sing as you rock and change the speed that you sing and rock.

For a bigger challenge, sit foot to foot with your knees straight. This increases the amount of stretching you may have to do.


Materials:

None needed.

This traditional children’s song helps to examine what we do when we feel different emotions. There are many ways to sing this song. You can always sing the traditional words (listed below), or you can make up your own versions by changing any or all of the underlined words.

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands. (stomp your feet, shout Hooray, do all three)If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.If you’re happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.


Cha-Cha Slide

Materials:

Space to move forward, back, to the left and right; some way to play music

The lyrics of this song indicate how to move. You will be stepping to the left and the right, to the back. You will also be jumping, hopping, cha-chaing, and doing something called the “Charlie Brown.” I’ve always been told that the “Charlie Brown” is a move where you rock back and forth on your feet.

The movements are pretty easy to do, but kids may need lots of practice to get the movements just right.

YouTube Link: I like this one because it shows lots of different people dancing.Different YouTube Link: This one has the words.

What Will We Do?

Materials:

None needed, but you may

want to have a piece of paper to write down your

plan.

Sometimes, it’s fun to ask questions and see what answers you hear in return. This song asks the question, “What will we do when we go outside?”

What will we do when we all go out? When we all go out. When we all go out. What will we do when we all go out? When we go outside to play.

Add your answers into the song. Use the same melody.

We’re going to play some basketball, some basketball, some basketball. We’re going to play some basketball, when we go outside today.


I Like to Eat

Materials:

Absolutely none!

This is a silly song that simply asks everyone to name what they like to eat. If you want to get even more silly, change the words to “I don’t like to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat…” and then name something that you really don’t like to eat.
