Songs, Rhymes & Fingerplays

Song: The More We Get Together
The more we get together, together, together.
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
For your friends are my friends.
And my friends are your friends.
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.

Song: Cool Cat
Hey there kid, you’re a real cool cat (point out thumbs to person you’re talking to)
You got a lot of this and you got a lot of that (roll arms)
So come on in (hands pulling in) and get down (ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch) (dance pointed fingers)
To the left (ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch)
To the right (ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch)
Up in the air (ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch)
And get down (ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch)

Instrument Song: If You Like Music
If you like music and you know it, play up high
If you like music and you know it, play up high
If you like music and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you like music and you know it, play up high

Play down low
Spin around

Song: Goodbye Friends
Goodbye friends, goodbye friends
Sing this tune, sing this tune
It’s time to wave goodbye
It’s time to wave goodbye
See you soon, see you soon

Goodbye friends, goodbye friends
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Take a deep breathe in
[Breathe in]
Now breathe out goodbye
[Breathe out]

Yoga Pose: Ice Skater (Warrior 3)
Breath Play: Shoulder Squeeze
Squeeze your shoulders up to your ears, breathe in. As you breathe out, let your shoulders down. Roll your shoulders in a circle, forwards, then backwards. Shrug shoulders. Repeat breathing.
