I always find i sing the same songs with Jack and was wondering if anyone had any different ones to share.

Obviously the usual 'Twinkle, Twinkle' 'Row Row' etc

A new one which Jack loves from playgroup is

'Sleeping Bunnies'

All the kids lay 'asleep' on the floor until we sing the 'hop' bit, then they jump/hop. (obvioulsy)

Goes like this;

See the little bunnies sleeping, till its nearly noon,
shall i go and wake them, with a merry tune,
they're so still, are they ill?

WAKE UP BUNNIES!

Hop little bunny, hop hop hop! Hope little bunny, hop hop hop! Hop little bunny, hop hop hop! Hop, hop hop!

awwwww that sounds lovely Im the same, its either Row Row or Ring a Ring a Roses x

yeah, row row is a big fav. But then there are about a million verses. Have you heard them all? here are Sophia's fav verses:

Row row row your boat
gently to the shore,
If you see a lion there
Dont forget to roar
OR
Gently up the river,
If you see a slithery snake,
dont forget to shiver (or with polar bear, or penguin in winter)
OR
sail sail sail your baot
out into the bay,
If you see a pirate ship,
sail the other way
OR
Row row row your boat,
Gently down the brook
If you catch a little fish,
Let idt off the hook


The pirate ship is my favourite one! Anyone know the submarine verse? Mys siter told me it but I forgot

The latest song i heard at a playgroup was:

A big red bus (pretend steering with a giant steering wheel)
A big red bus (same again)
Mini, mini, mini (pretende steering a wheel that is two inches wide reall fast!)
and a big red bus (giant steering wheel)
Ferrarri, (sweep one hand back over your head really fast)
Ferrari (same again)
Mini, mini, mini (tiny steering wheel)
And a big red bus (massive steering wheel)

Sing at least twice and fun to play with the speeds of the verses!

I feel so bad! I don't really sing to ellie apart from the goodnight song on cbbs!

There are millions miss polly had a dolly, wind the bobbin up, 12345 once i caught a fish alive, round and round the garden (on their hand), if your happy and u know it,

and that s just off the top of my head XX

i love wind the bobbin , ava can do all the actions now, also like dingle dingle scarecrow.

Wind the bobbin up is great, Sophie loves any songs with actions!

We do the hokey cokey, sleeping bunnies, ring a rosies, row row, round the garden and a major favourite at the moment is

A-Ram-Sam-Sam - to the tune of a pizza hut a pizza hut...

A-Ram-Sam-Sam, A-Ram-Sam-Sam - pounding fists on top of one another like mashed potato move
Goulie Goulie Goulie Goulie Goulie - Winding your arms around like on wind the bobbin up
Ram- Sam - Sam
Arafi, Arafi - Arms up and down
Goulie Goulie Goulie Goulie Goulie, Ram-Sam-Sam!

Mandy i like the big red bus, i think Sophie will too!! Will definately be trying that tomorrow!!

When Islas going to bed, she sits on my knee drinking her milk and I sing (and she mumbles along - lol)...

Daisy Daisy, give me your answer do (current fave of hers!)

12345, once I caught a fish alive

Round and round the garden

Twinkle Twinkle

Baa ba back sheep

Rock a bye baby (yep, she still likes this one)

Away in a manger

At least once each whilst she drinks

The submarine verse is

row row row your boat
gently under the stream
ha ha fooled you
I'm a submarine

My favourite verses are
rock rock rock your boat
gently to and fro
splish splash, splish splash
into the water you go (I tend to throw Wil sideways at this point)

row row row your boat
gently down the stream
throw your daddy in
and listen to him scream

Wil likes the lion and crocodile verses best and can do very good roars and screams at the appropriate points.

We also do wind the bobbin, wheels on the bus, grand old Duke of York, happy and you know it, head shoulders knees and toes and Peter Rabbit

I dont know wind the bobbin

I had a little Turtle his name was Tiny Tim

And now he's ill in bed with a bubble in his throat
