Song: Slowly, Slowly Creeps the Snail

Slowly, slowly, very slowly, creeps the garden snail. (Move hands down legs)
Slowly, slowly, very slowly, up the garden rail. (Move hands up legs)
Quickly, quickly, very quickly, runs the little mouse, (Down legs)
Quickly, quickly, very quickly, in his little house. Squeak! (Up legs and body, make ears)

Today we had a paper, a marker, and shakers in the mystery box.

Shaker Song: Dancing Sheep

Shhh! It’s time to go to sleep
But into my bedroom one sheep creeps.

“Don’t go to bed,” the one sheep said.
“I would rather dance instead!”
Soon he was
Dancing on the ceiling!
He was dancing on the floor!
He was dancing on the window!
He was dancing on the door!

He kept on… (sing faster)
Dancing on the ceiling!
He was dancing on the floor!
He was dancing on the window!
He was dancing on the door!’

He kept on… (sing faster)
Dancing on the ceiling!
He was dancing on the floor!
He was dancing on the window!
He was dancing on the door!

“Stop that dancing, silly sheep.
It is time to go to sleep!”
Soon the sheep lay on the floor.
Soon the sheep began to snore.
So I started … (draw these words out)
Dancing on the ceiling!
I was dancing on the floor!
I was dancing on the window!
I was dancing on the door!

Goodbye song: Goodbye friends

Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
It’s time to say goodbye.
