Mother Goose Rhymes:
All around the

The monkey chased the weasel

A penny for a needle

Bounces and Action Rhymes:
The Grand Old
Duke of York, he had ten thousand men,
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only halfway up
They were neither up nor down!
Stand up or lift baby (or just baby’s arms) up and down according to the rhyme

And he marched them down again.
And when they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down

They were neither up nor down!

went flying,
To see what he could see.
And all that he could see
Was a little TUMMY!
Move your hands about baby’s head as if it were a little insect. When you get to “TUMMY!” tickle baby.

This is the way
the ladies ride:
Walk walk walk
This is the way the gentlemen ride:
Trot trot trot
This is the way the children ride:
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Bounce the baby on
your knee or foot. When the ladies ride, bounce very softly, for the gentlemen,
bounce a little more, and then bounce very vigorously when the children ride!
Patty cake, patty
cake
Baker’s man
Baker’s man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can!
Roll it, and pat it
And mark it with a B
And throw it in the oven for baby and me!
Clap baby’s hands for
the first three lines. When rolling the cake, roll your hands, and then pat
your knees when patting the cake. Draw a B on baby’s hand when marking the cake
and mime throwing it in the oven at the end.
Closing Song:
(to the tune of Shortnin’ Bread)
Every little cell in my body is happy
Every little cell in my body is well
Every little cell in my body is happy
Every little cell in my body is well
I’m so glad every little cell
In my body is happy and well
I’m so glad every little cell
In my body is happy and well
Every little cell in my body is happy
Every little cell in my body is well
Every little cell in my body is happy
Every little cell in my body is well
Every little cell in my body is happy
Every little cell in my body is well
I’m so glad every little cell
In my body is happy and well
I’m so glad every little cell
In my body is happy and well
Every little cell in my body is happy
Every little cell in my body is well
