Song: “Old MacDonald Felt So Glad”
Old MacDonald felt so glad,
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
And when he’s glad, he sounds like this:
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
With a HA-HA here, and a HA-HA there,
Here a HA, there a HA, everywhere a HA-HA!
Old MacDonald felt so glad,
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Pop-up Book/Song: If You’re Happy And You Know It, Clap Your Hands! by David A. Carter

Flannel: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.
If you’re happy and you know it,
Then your face will surely show it.
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.

Additional verses:
If you’re angry and you know it, move your feet…
If you’re sad and you know it, get a hug…
If you’re worried and you know it, take a breath…
If you’re silly and you know it, shake it off…
