Opening Song

Flannel: “Ice Cream Colors”
We have ice cream, the best in town,
Let us begin with chocolate brown.

Now, let us scoop up some bubble-gum pink.
It is sweet and yummy, the best, some think.

Here is ice cream minty and green,
It is the creamiest I have ever seen.

Yellow ice cream is lemony and tart,
We like its taste from the very start.

Scoops of blueberry would make my day,
Look at all this ice cream, hip, hip, hooray!

Red ice cream is a strawberry delight,
All these scoops are a wonderful sight.

Vanilla white is a popular flavor,
It tastes very good to an ice-cream craver.

Purple ice cream really gives me a kick,
Good and yummy until the very last lick.

Ice cream, ice cream, what a cool sensation,
We love ice cream in any combination!

Song: “We Are Ice Cream Cones” (Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
We are ice cream cones
On a summer’s day,
Melting, melting, melting, melting,
Melting all away.

Song: “We All Want An Ice Cream Cone” (Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”)
We all want an ice cream cone,
Ice cream cone, ice cream cone.
We all want an ice cream cone,
We’ll eat it every day.

(Flavor) is our favorite kind,
Favorite kind, favorite kind.
(Flavor) is our favorite kind,
We’ll eat it every day.
