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!

Rhyme: I Bounce You Here
I bounce you here, I bounce you there
I bounce you, bounce you everywhere
I tickle you here, I tickle you there
I tickle you, tickle you everywhere
I hug you here, I hug you there
I hug you, hug you everywhere

Book: Plant the Tiny Seed by Christie Matheson

Song: “Watch Out for the Bugs!” (Tune: “Jingle Bells”)
Clap your hands,
Stomp your feet,
Wiggle all around.
Reach your hands high in the air
And now let’s touch the ground.
Hold your head,
Hold your hips,
Give yourself a hug.
Sit down upon the ground
but watch out for the bugs!

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)

Song: “Hop, Hop, Hop Along” (Tune: “Row Your Boat”)
Hop, hop, hop along (hop)
Or bounce on someone’s knee (bounce)
Higher and higher and higher and higher (lift)
Bunny hop with me. (hop)
