Open them, shut them

Give them a clap

Open them, shut them

Put them in your lap

Crawl them, crawl them up to your rosy cheeks

Peekaboo, Peekaboo

Fly them like birdies in the sky

Fly them down and clap them on your lap

Roll them, roll them…weee

Open them, shut them

Give them a clap

Open them, shut them

Put them in your lap.

I’m Bouncing

I’m bouncing, bouncing everywhere Bounce child on your knees

I bounce and bounce into the air Lift child above you

I’m bouncing, bouncing like a ball Bounce child on your knees

I bounce and bounce and then I fall Let child down to floor gently

Here is my book

I open it wide

to see the pictures

that are inside

Bouncing Time—Hubbell

Clap, Clap, Clap your Hands

(to the tune of Row, Row, Row your Boat)

Clap, clap, clap your hands

Clap them just like me.

Do it now, let me see

Do it now with me.

Touch, touch, touch your shoulders…

Roll, roll, roll your hands…

Tap, tap, tap your knees…

Shake, shake, shake your hands…

Nod, nod, nod your head…

Wave, wave, wave good-bye…

Here is my book

I open it wide

to see the pictures

that are inside

Bounce Bounce Bounce—Henderson

Row your boat (#2 on cd)

Round and Round the Garden

‘Round and ‘round the garden Hold child’s hand palm up

Goes the little mouse. Draw circles on child’s palm with finger

Up, up, up he creeps Crawl fingers up child’s arm

Up into his house. Tickle under child’s arm

‘Round and ‘round the garden Hold child’s hand palm up

Goes the teddy bear. Draw circles on child’s palm with finger

One step, two steps Bounce fist on child’s arm

Tickle under there. Tickle under child’s arm or neck

Here is my book

I open it wide

to see the pictures

that are inside

Five Little Monkeys—Christelow

Song: Five Little Monkeys (#17 on cd)

I’m Bouncing

I’m bouncing, bouncing everywhere Bounce child on your knees

I bounce and bounce into the air Lift child above you

I’m bouncing, bouncing like a ball Bounce child on your knees

I bounce and bounce and then I fall Let child down to floor gently

We’ve listened to stories

we’ve sat with our friends

and now we are finished

and it is the end.

My hands say goodbye

with a clap, clap, clap

my feet say goodbye

with a tap, tap, tap

clap, clap, clap

tap, tap, tap

Wiggle my fingers and say, bye-bye.
