Summer Songs

Spendid Summer (Sung to: Yankee Doodle)
Summertime is lots of fun.
There is so much to do-
Swim in lakes and sail on boats
And play on beaches too.
Summertime is so much fun.
We're so glad it's here.
Don't you think that summer is
the best time of the year?

A Summer Fruit Song (Sung to: Are You Sleeping)
Watermelon, watermelon.
Strawberries, strawberries.
Honeydew and peaches, honeydew and peaches.
Cantaloupe, cantaloupe.

Let's Celebrate Summer! (Sung to: This Old Man)
Summertime, it's such fun.
We play in the nice warm sun.
We can swim and spalsh and play out in the pool.
Summertime is really cool!

Picking Watermelon (Sung to: Clementine)
Picked a watermelon,
Picked a watermelon
That was growing in the sun.
So we sliced it,
And we ate it.
Then we picked another one!

Zoo Songs

Three Big Elephants
Three big elephants-what a sight! Hold up three fingers.
Swinging their trunks from the left to right, Use arms to make a trunk.
Flapping their eards and stamping a beat Move hands to resemble ears and stamp feet.
With their steady walking feet.
They might stop and trumpet at you Pause and then trumpet.
When you see them at the zoo. Point to eyes.

A Trip to the Zoo!
We're taking a trip to the zoo.
We may see a monkey and a kangaroo!
We're taking a trip to the zoo
Where big giraffes look down on you!
We're taking a trip to the zoo.
Where mighty owls go WHO HOO
We're taking a trip to the zoo,
And we'll do the dance that the ostriches do!
