Songs and Rhymes to Share:

Two Little Blackbirds                                                        Little Robin Redbreast

Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill                                      Little Robin Readbreast sat upon a rail

One named Jack                                                                Niddle noodle went her head

And the other named Jill                                                     Wiggle waggle went her tail

Fly away Jack

Fly away Jill                                                                  Three Little Ducks

Come back Jack                                                           Three little ducks that I once knew

Come back Jill                                                               Fat ones, fair ones, skinny ones too

                                                                                    But the one little duck with a feather on his back

                                                                                    He lead the others with a quack, quack, quack

I Saw a Little Birdie                                                     Quack, quack, quack

I saw a little birdie go hop, hop, hop.                                Quack, quack, quack

I asked that little birdie to stop, stop, stop.                        He lead the others with a quack, quack, quack

I went to the window to say 'How do you do?'                     Down to the river they would go

But he shook  his little tail and away he flew!                     Wibble wobble, wibble wobble to and fro

                                                                                      But the one little duck…

Baby Birds                                                                     Home from the river they would come

Up in the sky, baby birds fly            (flap arms)                   Wibble wobble, wibble wobble ho hum, hum

Down in their nest, baby birds rest  (cup hands)                  But the one little duck…

With a wing on the left              (flap left arm)

And a wing on the right              (flap right arm)

Tired baby birds sleep all night   (rock arms like rocking a baby)
