Song/Flannel: “If You’re Going to the Pool” (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you’re going to the pool, wear your suit, (show picture)

Song: “Did You Ever See a Baby?”
Did you ever see a baby, a baby, a baby?
Did you ever see a baby go this way and that? (lean side to side)
Go this way and that way and this way and that way (lean front to back, side to side)
Did you ever see a baby go this way and that? (lean front to back)

Rhyme/Flannel: Ice Cream Scoops
First we need a cone, nice and crunchy.
Then we need some ice cream, sweet and yummy.
Scoop ’em up, stack ’em on, up to the sky.
We love ice cream; my, oh my!

First comes vanilla, cold and sweet.
Then comes chocolate, a delicious treat.
*Next comes a green scoop, what could it be?
It’s mint chip, yummy!*
Here’s some strawberry with sprinkles and a cherry too!
A super-duper scooper cone
Just for you!

One scoop, two scoops,
Three scoops, four.
We love ice cream
Let’s have some more!
