Songs and Fingerplays
The Ants Go Marching
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stops to suck his thumb
And they all go marching down to the ground to get out of the rain
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching two by two,
The little one stops to tie his shoe
And they all go marching down around the town
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
(repeat and insert the following)
Three by three… The little one stops to climb a tree
Four by four…The little one stops to shut the door
Five by five…The little one stops to take a dive
Six by six…The little one stops to pick up sticks
Seven by seven…The little one stops to go to heaven
Eight by eight…The little one stops to shut the gate
Nine by nine…The little one stops to scratch his spine
Ten by ten…The little one stops to say “THE END”
Itsy, Bitsy Spider
The itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rainAnd the itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again

The Baby Bumblebee Song
I’m bringing home my baby bumble bee
Won’t my Mommy be so proud of me
I’m bringing home my baby bumble bee –
OUCH! It stung me!
I’m squishin’ up my baby bumble bee
Won’t my Mommy be so proud of me
I’m squishin’ up my baby bumble bee –
EW! What a mess!
I’m washin’ off my baby bumble bee
Won’t my Mommy be so proud of me
I’m washin’ off my baby bumble bee –
All clean!
