Song: “The Elevator Song”
Oh the city is great and the city is grand,
There’s a whole lot of people
on a little piece of land,
And we live way up on the 57th floor,
and this is what we do when we go out the door.
We take the elevator up, and the elevator down,
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down,
Take the elevator up, and the elevator down,
And we turn around.

Song: “The Wheels on the Bus”
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round,
Round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town!
Additional verses: Horn, wipers, money, driver, kids, babies, grown-ups
Flannel Rhyme: “Some Houses”
Some houses are wood and some are stone.
But let’s build one with shapes alone.
Start with a square, but we won’t stop.
Add a triangle up on the top.
Then a rectangle for the door.
Now square windows 1, 2, 3, 4!
A little circle just for fun.
Now our shape house is all done!

Fingerplay: “Houses”
Here is a nest for robin, (cup both hands)
Here is a hive for bee, (fists together)
Here is a hole for bunny, (make a circle)
And here is a house for ME! (make a roof)

Shaker Eggs: “Can You Shake Along With Me?” (Tune: “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”)
Can you shake along with me?
Along with me, along with me,
Can you shake along with me?
Put your shaker on your…knee!
Repeat with different body parts
