songs with actions to go with them?

[JumpingBean]

I'm after some songs that have actions to go with them. Such as Heads, sholders, knees and toes. Twinkle twinkle little star, Row row row your boat, etc.
Does anyone have anymore or know of CD's that are action ones?
Thanks

the sky is in the sea (point up then down)
the rabbits in the nest (make bunny ears then a nest with your hands)
where the birds should be (link thumbs and do flying action)

YOU THEN REPEAT FIRST VERSE
* one finger one thumb keep moving
*Johnny works with one hammer

Everybody clap -Clap, clap, clap (while clapping your hands)
Everybody sings -lalalala!
Bow to your partner

Hands in the air, rock-a-by your bear
Bear is now asleep (whispering) shh-shh-shh
Bear is now asleep (whispering) shh-shh-shh

We have a great book and CD called 'Baby Action Rhymes' which we got from our local newsagency.

It has 9 action rhymes on the CD, all the words are in the book with some lovely illustrations, and the CD tells you all the actions too!

DD just loves it! :p

My DS faves are Twinkle Twinkle, and Der Glumph (went the little green frog one day). He loved the frog one since he learnt it at the library story time :yes:

We do this with the Grand Old Duke of York (knee actions in capitals - the last like goes quite quick UP/DOWn and always gets a giggle)

The Grand Old Duke of York
He had 10 thousand men
He marched them UP to the top of the hill
and marched them DOWN again
when they were up they were UP
when they were down they were DOWN
and when they were only HALFWAY UP
they were neither UP nor DOWN

Do the hokey-pokey (for 2 years & up)
Wheels on the bus

[Nex]

Sit down, stand up, sit down and give a clap.
Stand up, sit down, stand up and give a clap.
Sit down, stand up, sit down and give a clap.
turn your self around and sit.

Sung three times each time faster and faster!

[Nex]

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea

[Lastcenturymum]

That's a good one Nex!

Hokey Pokey (you put your right foot in, you put your right foot out..you do the hokey pokey and your turn yourself about...)

Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose...
(let me know if you need words and actions)

Seven days of the week...

There are seven days
There are seven days
There are se-v-en days in the week
Sun-day, Mon-day
Tues-day, Wed-nesday
Thursa-day frid-day
Satur-day..

And repeat...using your hands to count them...

Today is..............Tuesday (or what ever day it is)

Its a bit of an older kid song, DS's kindy class sing it....

The sausages in a pan song...forget how it goes but its on playschool...DS loves playschool, and learns all heaps of new songs from it...

That der glump song is one of DS's favourites too, as a baby he would cack himself when I sung it, and it made him stop crying if I'd sing it in the car and he was upset....

[Nex]

I went looking.

Here's heaps!

[JumpingBean]

Wow girls! There's just sooo many! Thanks a million. Will give em a go tomorrow. :yelclap:

[~Mands~]

At DS day care they were singing a song where they all jump, but I cant remember what it was... and he loved it!! Anyone have any ideas? :confused:

Thanks!

[bubbleyblossom]

I just want to say thankyou so much to everyone for all these great ideas!
Im doing an assignment witha resource collection of songs etc and these have come in so handy! Thankyou!!!

[purtig]

Row Your Boat is a fave here. I sit opposite DS, we stretch our legs out and hold hands and we pull each other back and forwards while singing. I learnt that at speech with DS1 and both my kids love it. They can see your lips making the words and get to move their whole body too.

We also love Der Glumph and Twinkle Twinkle. Oh, and Wheels on the Bus - how could I forget that. There are so many things you can make up for that one.

[mum2bubba]

What about I can sing a rainbow, it is done in sign language.
