Puppet Song: “3 Dinosaurs”
One dinosaur went out to play
On a bright and sunny day.
He had such enormous fun
That he called another dinosaur to come.
(call very loud) DI-NO-SAUR!
(Then chant while patting hands on laps) Thump! Thump!

Additional verses:
2 dinosaurs…
3 dinosaurs…

End with these lines:
Instead they heard their mother,
And she was calling, “DINNER!”
And they all went home for dinner!

Shaker Eggs: “Shake Your Shakers” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
Shake your shakers, shake, shake, shake,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake shake.
Shake your shakers, shake, shake, shake,
Shake your shakers.

Additional verses:
Shake your shakers high, high, high
Shake your shakers low, low, low
Shake your shakers fast, fast, fast
Shake your shakers slow, slow, slow
