Songs and rhymes to share:

 Put your Helmet On from "There’s a pea on my plate" by Bill Harley

My Tall Silk Hat from "Do your ears hang low" by Tom Glazer

I’ve Got One Head from "The Fun to sing Songbook" by Esther Nelson


A Silly Hat from "I love to sing with Barney"

A silly hat, a silly hat

I wear it on my head cause that's where it's at

And I know it looks as funny as can be.

A silly hat, a silly hat

I wear it on my head cause that's where it's at

And I like it cause it feels like part of me.

It may be too big or it may be too little

It might even have a whole in the middle

It might be coloured red or blue or green

And if someone saw my silly hat

That I had on my head cause that's where it's at

They'd think it was the funniest thing they'd seen

But I like it cause it feels a part of me!

 

The Hat Song          by: Fredrick A. Roscher

My hat is very special
Magic you might say
I found it by the roadside
One cold and windy day
I picked it up
And placed it on my head
And that's when
The hat spoke up and said
I'm a magic hat - I'm a magic hat
I'm a magic hat - Oh can't you see
I'll keep you warm and dry
If you just wear me

My Hat (make triangle with thumb and index fingers)

My hat it has three corners (put triangle on head every time you say "hat")

Three corners has my hat (place triangle on head again)

If it did not have three corners (shake head "no")

It would not be my hat (place triangle on head again)

 

Hats that are new

One, two, hats that are new (count on fingers)

Three, four, hats in a store

Five, six, I love them to bits!

Seven, eight, hats that look great

Nine, ten, lets count them again!

 

Hats on Everyone (act out each job)

Hats on police officers starchy and blue (salute)

Hats on fire fighters shiny and new (spray with hose)

Hats on marchers in a band (drum)

Hats on astronauts when they land (float)

Hats on farmers made of straw (shovel hay)

Hats on artists when they draw (draw)

Hat on babies out in the sun (pretend suck thumb)

Hats on almost everyone! (hold hand out to sides)

 

All By Myself Just Me  (suit actions to words)

Hat on my head, chin strap here

Tied just so you see

I can put my hat on

All by myself - just me!

 

Grandma's Glasses

Here are Grandma's glasses (make circles with fingers over eyes)

Here is Grandma's hat (touch your head)

This is the way she holds her hands

And puts them in her lap (fold your hands on your lap)

Here are Grandpa's glasses (make circles with fingers over eyes)

Here is Grandpa's hat (touch your head)

This is the way he folds his arms

And sleeps like that (fold arms across chest and close eyes)

 

Bat, Bat, Come Under My Hat

Bat, bat, come under my hat,

And I'll give you a slice of bacon

And when I bake

I'll give you a cake

If I am not mistaken
