Rhyme: Jack-in-the Box

Let's climb into our boxes (mime action)
Push ourselves down (squat)
And close the lid (mime action)
Now let's wind ourselves up.... (mime action)
And here we go:

Jack-in-the box sitting so still,
Won't you come out?
Yes! I Will! (Jump up)

Five Little Snowmen

 A great audience participation, you can get kids to stand up in front and melt away at different points in the rhyme.  Repeat to include as many kids as you can.

Five little snowmen standing in a row
Each had a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and it shone all day
One little snowman melted away

Four little snowmen standing in a row
Each had a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and it shone all day
One little snowman melted away

Three little snowmen standing in a row
Each had a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and it shone all day
One little snowman melted away

Two little snowmen standing in a row
Each had a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and it shone all day
One little snowman melted away

One little snowmen standing in a row
Each had a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and it shone all day
One little snowman melted away

Monster Hokey Pokey

(To the Tune of the Hokey Pokey)

You put your claws in, you take your claws out
You put your claws in and you shake them all about
You do the wild rumpus and you turn your self around
and that's what it's all about !

Fangs, horns, tail, big hairy feet, and whole monster self
