Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.
Skidamarink a dink a dink,

Lyrics for “5 in the Bed”

There were five in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over and one fell out

There were four in the bed

And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over and one fell out

There were three in the bed

And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over and one fell out

There were two in the bed

And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over and one fell out

There was one in the bed

And the little one said,
“Alone at last!”
“Good Night!”

A Family Fingerplay

This is a family    hold up one hand, fingers spread

Let's count them and see, 
How many there are,
And who they can be    count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

This is the mother    touch pointer finger

Who loves everyone
And this is the father   touch big finger
Who is lots of fun.

This is my sister    touch ring finger

She helps and she plays,
And this is the baby    touch little finger
He's growing each day.

But who is this one?    touch thumb

He's out there alone,
Why it's Jackie, the dog,
And he's chewing a bone.   wiggle thumb.

Lyrics for “You Are My Sunshine”

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please, don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear

While I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please, don't take my sunshine away

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please, don't take my sunshine away

Please, don't take my sunshine away

Please, don't take my sunshine away

Lyrics to “Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone”

Where, oh where has my little dog gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short
And his tail cut long
Oh where, oh where can he be?

I think he went down to the building site

To see what he could see
And in his mouth was a globe so bright
I wonder what could it be

Where, oh where has my little dog gone?

Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short
And his tail cut long
Oh where, oh where can he be?

I last saw him by the bulldozer

Playing and running around
But I can't see him there anymore
He just can't seem to be found

Perhaps the man over there will know

He may have seen him go by
Who knows where he might have decided to go
But we've got to give it a try

Where, oh where has my little dog gone?

Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short
And his tail cut long
Oh where, oh where can he be?

Lyrics for “Some People Live in Big Houses”

Some people live in, apartments
Live in apartments
Live in apartments
Some people live in, apartments
That’s where some people live!

Some people live in, mobile homes

Live in mobile homes
Live in mobile homes
Some people live in, mobile homes
That’s where some people live!

Some people live in, big houses

Live in big houses
Live in big houses
Some people live in, big houses
That’s where some people live!

Some people live in, little houses

Live in little houses
Live in little houses
Some people live in, little houses
That’s where some people live!

Continue with different types of housing (brick houses, wood houses, etc)

Lyrics for “My Dog Rags”
I have a dog.
His name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop (move hands up and down by
ears)
and his tail wig wags. (wiggle your body)
And when he walks, he goes zig zag. (put
hands together and make a zig zag motion)
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.
My dog Rags, he loves to play.
He rolls around in the mud all day.
I whistle. [whistle]
He won't obey.
He always runs the other way.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.
My dog Rags, he loves to run.
He wants me to join him in the fun.
He whimpers. [whimper]
He won't obey.
He always runs the other way.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.
My dog Rags, he loves to bark.
He wants me to join him in the park.
He barks. [bark bark]
He tries to talk.
He barks to chase the cats away.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.
I have a dog.
His name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop
and his tail wig wags.
And when he walks, he goes zig zag.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.
