Dinosaur Stomp
(Quiet Round) Here they come, from afar (start
stomping) Little baby dinosaurs (keep stomping)
Earth shakes (Jump up and down stomping feet
one by one) Tree shakes (Stand tall, and shake
arms around) Listen to the sounds they make,
ROAR! (Cup one ear, then roar) (Medium Round)
Here they come, from afar (start stomping) Big
mommy dinosaurs (keep stomping) Earth shakes
(Jump up and down stomping feet one by one)
Tree shakes (Stand tall, and shake arms around)
Listen to the sounds they make, ROAR! (Cup one
ear, then roar a little louder) (Loudest Round)
Here they come, from afar (start stomping) Big
daddy dinosaurs (keep stomping) Earth shakes
(Jump up and down stomping feet one by one)
Tree shakes (Stand tall, and shake arms around)
Listen to the sounds they make, ROAR! (Cup one
ear, then roar the loudest)

When I was one

I had some fun
Over the deep blue sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the pirate said to me
Going over, going under
Stand at attention like a soldier
With a 1, 2, 3
When I was two
I tried my shoe
Over the deep blue sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the pirate said to me
Going over, going under
Stand at attention like a soldier
With a 1, 2, 3
When I was three
I skinned my knee
Over the deep blue sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the pirate said to me
Going over, going under
Stand at attention like a soldier
With a 1, 2, 3
When I was four
I shut the door
Over the deep blue sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the pirate said to me
Going over, going under
Stand at attention like a soldier
With a 1, 2, 3
When I was five
I took a dive
Over the deep blue sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the pirate said to me
Going over, going under
Stand at attention like a soldier
With a 1, 2, 3

Jump Up, Turn Around

Simple motions and a simple rhyme.
Say it as you play it and
repeat two times.
Jump up
Turn around
Clap your hands
Stamp the ground
(repeat)
Let's play it again, but this time try
To say it as you play and stretch your arms up
high.
Let me suggest that this time you might
Say it as you play it with your eyes closed tight.
