Songs and rhymes to share:
The North Wind Doth Blow
Can You Be the Wind?
The North wind doth blow and we shall
have snow, Pheeewwooooo (make a sound like
blowing wind)
And what will poor robin do then, poor
thing? Can you be the wind?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself
warm Can you be the gentle breeze
And hide his head under his wing, poor
thing. That whispers, whispers, in the
trees?
Can
you be the whirly wind
The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
That twirly-whirls the autumn leaves?
And what the doormouse do then, poor
thing? Can you be the singing wind
Rolled up in a ball in his nest snug and
small That ting-a-lings the garden
chimes?
He’ll sleep ‘till warm weather comes in, poor
thing. Can you be the wafting wind
That
flaps the washing on the line?
Blow Wind Blow
Can you be the wild wind
Blow wind,
blow That
tries to steal my hat from me!
And go, mill, go:
That the miller
May grind his
corn; The
Wind
That the baker may take
it, by
Robert Louis Stevenson
And into rolls make
it I saw
you toss the kites on high
And bring us
some And
blow the birds about the sky;
Hot in the
morn. And
all around I heard you pass,
Like
ladies' skirts across the grass--
Whistling Wind
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
Sung to: "If you're happy and you know
it" O wind, that sings so loud a
song!
I
saw the different things you did,
If you hear the whistling wind, cover your
ears But always you yourself you hid.
If you hear the whistling wind, cover your
ears I felt you push, I heard you call,
If you hear it in the
trees I could
not see yourself at all
Making music with the
leaves, O wind,
a-blowing all day long
If you hear the whistling wind, cover your
ears O wind, that sings so loud a song!
If you feel the blustery wind, whirl
around O you that are so strong and
cold,
If you feel the blustery wind, whirl
around O blower, are you young or
old?
If you feel it lift your hair
Are you a beast
of field and tree,
Like a kite up in the
air, Or just
a stronger child than me?
If you feel the blustery wind, whirl
around. O wind, a-blowing all day
long,
O
wind, that sings so loud a song!
The Wind Is Blowing
Go Wind Blow
Sung to: "Mary had a
little lamb" Go
wind blow, push wind, swoosh.
The wind is blowing all around,
Shake things, take things, make things fly.
All around, all
around.
Ring things, swing things, fling things high.
The wind is blowing all
around, Go wind blow,
push wind....whee!
All around the
town No
wind, no! Not me, not me!
The Wind
Sung to: "Skip to my Lou"
The wind is full of tricks today
It almost blew me far away
It almost blew me off my feet
As I went walking down the street!
The next time that I go outside
The wind won't take me for a ride
Cause I know just what I will do...
I'll put some glue on the bottom of my shoe!
Woosh Went the Wind
(count on fingers)
Five little dandelions growing by
my door
WOOSH went the wind (swing
arms to side)
And then there were
four
Four little dandelions pretty as
can be
WOOSH went the
wind
And then there were
three
Three little dandelions
I picked them for
you
WOOSH went the
wind
And then there were
two
Two little dandelions, blowing
them is fun!
WOOSH went the
wind
And then there was
one
One little dandelion standing in
the breeze
WOOSH went the
wind
And scattered all the seeds!
This little Wind Blows Rain
(count on fingers)
This little wind blows rain
This little wind drifts snow
This little wind brings the sunshine
This little wind whistles low
And this little wind
Rocks the baby birds to and fro.
Dandelion Seeds
Dandelion seeds are floating down, (float arms and hands up and
down)
They make a carpet on the ground
Then swish, the wind comes
whistling by, (move arms to the side quickly)
And sends them dancing to the sky.
Blow, Wind, Blow!
Blow, wind, blow (move arms back and forth)
All through the town
Blow wind blow (move arms around)
Up and down (move arms up and down)
Blow, wind, blow
From the left to the right, (move arms left to right)
Blow, wind, blow
All through the night. (slowly lower arms)
Wind at My Back
Crick! Crack! Wind at my back.
Snit! Snat! Snatched off my hat.
Whew! Whew! It blew and it blew.
It snapped at me and flapped at you!
