Book: Wonderful Worms by Linda Glaser, illustrated by Loretta Krupinski
Song: “The Wiggly Wiggly Earthworm” (Tune: “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”)
The wiggly wiggly earthworm dug through the dirt.
Down came the rain, and wet all the earth.
Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
And the wiggly wiggly earthworm dug through the dirt again.
Fingerplay: “Two Little Earthworms”
Two little earthworms digging near the gate,
One called wobbly, and one called straight.
Crawl away, wobbly, crawl away straight.
Come back, wobbly, come back straight.
Additional verses:
Digging by the beans…nice/mean
Underneath a brick…slow/quick

Song: “The Gardener Plants the Seeds” (Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”)
The worms mix up the soil,
The worms mix up the soil,
Hi-ho, the derry-oh,
The worms mix up the soil. (pretend to dig)
The gardener plants the seeds.
The gardener plants the seeds.
Hi-ho, the derry-oh,
The gardener plants the seeds. (pretend to plant seeds)
Additional verses:
The rain falls on the ground… (flutter fingers down to ground)
The sun shines bright and warm… (hold hands in circle overhead)
The seeds/plants begin to grow… (slowly raise hands from ground)
Flowers grow everywhere… (hold hands outstretched)
Fresh vegetables to eat… (pretend to eat)
