Rhyme: “When the Cat Goes Walking”
When the cat goes walking (tiptoe)
Her feet make no sound
But the bell around her neck
warns all the mice around (do the sign for bell)
If they don’t hear the bell,
then mice come out to play (jump and dance)
But when they hear a “ring-a-ling”
then they run away (run in place)

Song: “There’s a Bell on My Head” (Tune: “There’s a Spider on the Floor”)
There’s a bell on my head, on my head,
There’s a bell on my head, on my head,
Oh, let it be said, there’s a bell on my head,
There’s a bell on my head, on my head.

There’s a bell on my arm…It’s not doing any harm but there’s a bell on my arm,

There’s a bell on my hand…Oh, isn’t it grand, there’s a bell on my hand,

There’s a bell on my leg…Oh, help me, I beg, there’s a bell on my leg,

There’s a bell on my knee…Oh, can’t you see, there’s a bell on my knee,

There’s a bell on my toe…Oh, wouldn’t you know, there’s a bell on my toe,
