K/1 Songs
Celebration
Celebration, Celebration, this is a special occasion.
Celebration, Celebration, this is a special day.
Do Not Bump
The game is not to bump another,
Never touch or crowd the other.
This may be quite hard, I know,
But eyes will tell you where to go.
Use your eyes and find a space;
With hand outstretched to lead the way,
Tiptoe quickly there to stay,
But Never, Never, BUMP!
Walking on the line
Walking on the line. We’re walking on the line. Very, very, carefully walking on the line.
Closet key
I lost my closet key in some lady’s garden.  I lost my closet key in some lady’s garden.
Help me find my closet key in some lady’s garden.  Help me find my closet key in some lady’s garden.
I found my closet key in some lady’s garden.  I found my closet key in some lady’s garden.
Little Sally /Johnny Water
Little Sally Water sitting in a saucer.  Rise, Sally.  Rise, Sally.  Wipe away your tears, Sally.
Turn to the east, Sally; turn to the west, Sally; turn to the one who’s doing the best, Sally.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.  I caught a little fish alive.  Why did you let him go?  Because he bit my finger so.  Which finger did he bite?  The little finger on the right.
Five little mice
Five little mice came out to play; gathering crumbs along the way.  Out came the kitty cat , slick and fat.  Four little mice went scampering back.
(Continue counting down to “no little mice went scampering back”)
Teddy Bear
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear turn around.  Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear touch the ground.  Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear show your shoe.  Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear that will do.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear go up stairs.  Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear say your prayers.  Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear turn off the light.  Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear say goodnight.
Round and round the circle
Round and round the circle go the happy children.  Go up to the lilac bush.  Birdie fly away—hush, hush.
Old King Glory
Old King Glory of the mountain.  The mountain was so high; it nearly reached the sky.  The first one, the second one, the third follow me.
One little elephant
One little elephant balancing, step by step on a piece of string.  He/She/They thought it was such an amusing stunt the he/she/they called in another little elephant.
Down in the meadow
Down in the meadow, hop a doodle, hop a doodle.  Down in the meadow, hop a doodle do.  Down in the meadow the colt began to prance, the cow began to whistle, and the pig began to dance. Down in the barnyard, hop a doodle, hop a doodle.  Down in the barnyard, hop a doodle do.  Down in the barnyard the goose began to sing, the hen began to cackle, as the rooster flapped a wing.
Caterpillar
Caterpillar crawling round.  Trying not to make a sound.  Comes a magpie in the sky.  Caterpillar—bye, bye.
We are dancing
We are dancing in the forest while wolf is far away.  Who knows what will happen to us if he finds us at our play.  Wolf are you there?
I am putting on my socks/shoes/hat/
Here I am.
Bought me a cat
