Award Winners

 

I chose some great award winners from Caldecott, to Missouri Library Association Building Block Award winner to Missouri Show Me Readers Award winner (Missouri Association of School Librarians). These are some of the songs we sang during our last Book Nibblers Session.

Up, Down, Turn Around
Up, down (Hold baby's hands up in air then down to floor)
Turn around (roll baby's hands)
Touch the sky and touch the ground (Hands up in the air and down again)
Wiggle fingers, (touch baby's fingers)
wiggle toes (touch baby's toes)
wiggle shoulders (touch baby's shoulders)
Say hello. (wave hands)

A Smooth Road
A smooth road, a smooth road, a smooth road, a smooth road.
A bumpy road, a bumpy road, a bumpy road, a bumpy, road.
A rough road, a rough road, a rough road, a rough road.
A HOLE!


Mother and Father and Uncle John
Mother and Father and Uncle John
Went to the market, one by one.
Mother fell off!
Father fell off!
But Uncle John went on and on, and
on and on and on!

(Jog along until you get to the falling off parts. Mother falls off to one side, father to the other and Uncle John goes on faster!)

Baby Put Your Pants On
Baby put your pants on, pants on, pants on,
Baby put your pants on 1,2,3
Shirt
socks
shoes
hat
Now that you're all dressed, all dressed, all dress, now that you're all dressed, let's go play.


Chicken in the Barnyard
Chicken in the barnyard
Staying out of trouble.
(Draw a circle in baby's palm)
Along came a turnkey
(Slowly creep fingers up baby's arm.)
and...
Gobble, gobble, gobble!
(Tickle baby's underarm or move in for a gobble on baby's neck.)

Let's Tap Our Feet Together
(Tune: “The more we get together”)
Let’s tap our feet together, together, together
Let’s tap our feet together because it’s fun to do
Additional verses: Clap our hands, Touch our nose, touch our ears


The Wheels on the Bus (Tickle Version)
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All over town
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep…
The babies on the bus go bounce bounce bounce…
The parents on the bus go tickle tickle tickle…
The babies on the bus go hee hee hee …

Peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo, Peek-a-boo
I see you. I see you.
I see your button nose.
I see your tiny toes.
Peek-a-boo, I see you.


Giddyap
Giddyap, giddyap, ride to town,
(bounce baby on knees, facing forward)
Giddyap, giddyap, up and down.
Giddyap fast, (bounce quickly)
Giddyap slow, (bounce slowly)
Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap, WHOA! (dip baby backwards gently)

I Bounce You
I bounce you here
I bounce you there
I bounce you, bounce you everywhere
I tickle you here
I tickle you there
I tickle you, tickle you everywhere!
I hug you here
I hug you there
I hug you, hug you everywhere!

If you’re happy and you know it bounce like this:
Bounce! Bounce!
If you’re happy and you know it bounce like this:

If you’re happy and you know it bounce like this:
Bounce! Bounce!

Also:      …Stretch……Wiggle… 

Horsie, Horsie
Horsie, horsie, don’t you stop.
Just let your feet go clippety clop.
Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddyup, Giddyup, homeward bound.
