The Animals at the Zoo

Roar, roar, roar.  Roar, roar, roar.
The lions at the zoo go roar, roar, roar.
All day long!

The Hippo Hokey Pokey
(From thebestkidsbooksite.com)
(Tune: 'The Hokey Pokey')

You put your right foot in.
You take right  foot out.
You put your right foot in.
And you squish it all about.
You do the hippo pokey and you hop down in the mud..
That's how a hippo cools off!

Who's the King of the Jungle?

Who's the king of the jungle?  (Ooh! Ooh!)
Who;s the king of the sea? (bubble, bubble, bubble)
Who's the king of the universe?
And who's the king of me?

Well, I say  J-E-S-U-S!  Yes!
Jesus is my king.
He's the king of the universe,
the jungle, and the sea.
 

Bubbles

Bubbles, bubbles in the air.
Bubbles, bubbles, everywhere!
See them.  Catch them.
Before they dissapear.
Bubbles, bubbles, everywhere!

The Bubble Song
(From everythingpreschool.com)
(Tune: 'Ten Little Indians')

1 little, 2 little, 3 little bubbles.
4 little, 5 little, 6 little bubbles.
7 little, 8 little, 9 little bubbles.
10 little bubbles go pop, pop, pop!

The Bubble Hop
(From Little Hands Fingerplays and Action Songs by Emily Stetson and Vicky Congdon.)
(Tune: 'Row Your Boat')

Blow, blow, blow some bubbles.
(Pretend to blow bubbles.)

Do the bubble hop.
(Hop on one foot.)

Jump so high.
(Jump up and down.)

Until they pop.
(Clap hands on the word 'pop'.)

Then you have to stop!
(Hold out hand as they saying 'Stop!')

Water Song
(From Toddler Theme-a-Saurus by Jean Warren.)
(Tune: 'The Wheels on the Bus')

Oh, the water in the cup goes splish, splish, splash.
Splish, splish, splash.  Splish, splish, splash.
Oh, the water in the cup goes splish, splish, splash
When I pour it out!

Oh, the water in the sponge goes drip, drip, drop.
Drip, drip, drop.  Drip, drip, drop.
Oh, the water in the sponge goes drip, drip, drop
When I squish it out!

Oh, the water in the bottle goes squirt, squirt, squirt.
Squirt, squirt, squirt.  Squirt, squirt, squirt.
Oh, the water in the bottle goes squirt, squirt, squirt
When I squeeze it out!

Bubbles All Around
(From everythingpreschool.com)
(Tune: 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star')

Bubbles floating all around.
(Pretend to catch bubbles.)

Bubbles fat and bubbles round.
(Make a circle with arms.)

Bubbles on my toes and nose.
(Point to your toes and then to your nose.)

Blow a bubble. Up it goes.
(Pretend to blow a bubble and point up.)

Bubble floating all around.
(Pretend to catch bubbles.)

Bubble falling to the ground.
(Sing slowly while sinking to the ground.)
