Three Brown Bears [tune: "Three Blind Mice" ]
Three brown bears, three brown bears.
See all their beds, see all their chairs.
The mommy cooked in a big brown pot.
The daddy's porridge was much too hot,
The baby bear always cried a lot.
Three brown bears.
Goldilocks
Once upon a time in a wee little forest there were 3 bears. Cha, cha
One was a Papa bear, and one was a Mama bear
and one was a baby bear. Cha, ChaOne day they went walkin in the deep woods talkin'
When along…along
Along came a little girl with golden hair
And her name was Goldilocks
And upon the door she knocked,
But no one was there, no no one was there.So she walked right in had herself a ball
She didn’t care, no she didn’t care.
And when she got tired she went upstairs.
Home came the 3 bears.“Someone’s been eating my porridge”, said the Papa bear.
“Someone’s been eating my porridge”, said the Mama bear.
“Hay bobalee bear”, said the little wee bear,
“Someone has broken my chair!”Well just then Goldilocks woke up and broke up the story as she beat it out of there.
“Well goodbye-bye, bye” said the Papa bear.
“Well goodbye-bye, bye” said the Mama bear.
And “Hay bobalee bear”, said the little wee bear,
And that’s the story of the 3 little bear,
Waaa,waa,waa, waa, waa, waa waa!
Hens of a Different Color
This little hen is BLACK, She stands in the barnyard by a big hay stack.
This little hen is RED, She is very tired and won't get out of bed.
This little hen is BROWN, She is feeling sad and wearing a frown.
This little hen is YELLOW, She's friends with the rooster; he's a handsome fellow.
This little hen is WHITE, She dances and plays; oh what a sight!
This little hen is PURPLE, She spends her day running around in circles.
This little hen is GREEN, She is the silliest hen I've ever seen.
This little hen is BLUE, She lays eggs for me and you.
This little hen is PINK, She goes down to the pond to get a drink.
All of these hens live at the farm, Out in the big RED barn.
A-Tisket, A-Tasket, Ridinghood's Basket by Ms Christi [tune: A-Tisket, A-Tasket]
A-tisket a-tasket
Red Ridinghood's basket
She made a sandwich for her gran,
but on the way she dropped it.
she dropped it, she dropped it,
on the way she dropped it.
A wolf was hiding in a ditch
and gobbled up that sandwich.
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
