Rhyme: Round and Round the Garden
Round and round the garden like a teddy bear (swirl finger around palm)
One step, two step (walk fingers up child’s arm)
Hidden under there! (tickle child’s underarm)

Book: Machines at Work by Byron Barton

Or bounce on someone’s knee (bounce)

Bunny hop with me. (hop)

Song/Book: Old MacDonald Had a Truck by Steve Goetz

Rhyme (if time): Brick by Brick
Brick by brick
By brick by brick,
My building’s so high,
It’s scraping the sky.
(Place fists one on top of the other, going higher each time.)

Brick by brick
By brick by brick,
My building will sway
When the wind blows this way.
(Sway left, then right.)

Brick by brick
By brick by brick,
Now I’m ready to stop
And a flag goes on top.
(Open one fist and wave hand left and right.)

Book (if time): Tip Tip Dig Dig by Emma Garcia

Song (if time): “Colors Over You” (Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle”)
Signs – red, yellow, green, blue, colors, flower, tree, sun, sea
Red and yellow, green and blue, these are the colors over you.
Red as a flower, green as a tree,
Yellow as the sun, and blue as the sea.
Red and yellow, green and blue, these are the colors over you!
