March Lapsit Rhymes

Boom! Bang!
Boom, bang, boom, bang!
(beat fists upon each other)
Rumpety, lumpety, bump!
(slap hands on knees)
Zoom, zam, zoom, zam!
(slide hands across each other)
Clippety, clappety, clump!
(beat fists upon each other)
Rustles and bustles
(slap hands on knees)
And swishes and zings,
(slide hands across each other)
What wonderful noises
A thunderstorm brings!!!
(clap hands together)

Barney’s “I Love You” Song
I Love You . You Love Me. We’re a happy family. With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you. Won’t you say you love me too.
(Give a big hug and a blow a kiss)
I Love You.  You love me.  We’re best friends like friends should be.  With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you. Won’t you say you love me too.

  

Colors
(Flannel Board Presentation)
Orange is a carrot
Yellow is the sun
Green is the grass
Brown’s a cookie when it’s done
Purple is a plum 
Blue is the sky
Black is a witch’s hat and
Red’s a cherry pie.

Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?
Oh where, oh where,
Has my little dog gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?  With his ears cut short and his tail cut long, Oh where, oh where can he be?

 

I’m a Little Teapot
I’m a little teapot short and stout.
Here is my handle.
(Put hand on hip)
Here is my spout.
(Lift arm in shape of spout)
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout.
Just tip me over and pour me out.
(Lean to the side like a teapot being poured)

Stop, Look, and Listen!
Stop!
(hands in front, palms out)
Look!
(hands shade eyes)
And listen!
(hands cup ears)
Before you cross the street,
(look both ways)
Use your eyes,
(point to eyes)
Use your ears,
(point to ears)
And then use your feet.
(point to feet)
