--- School Library Journal REVIEW ---  October 2006

"Nutrition and healthy eating are the focus of these 15 songs. Although all the lyrics are original, a few of the songs are set to existing tunes, such as "Vive la Compagnie," Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony," and "Cowboy's Lament." Other musical styles include calypso, rock, jazz, Dixieland and Hawaiian. "Farmer's Market" and "Shake, Mix, Pound, Roll" are perfect songs food story time on food. Other tunes deal with table manners, spoiled food, food groups, vitamins, tropical fruits, seafood, and cleaning up after cooking. Seven of the of the songs are repeated with Spanish lyrics, and seven others are repeated as instrumental versions. All of the vocalists and musicians perform well. A good resource for classroom or library story time."

 

 

1.      We Love the Company (To "Vive La Compagnie")

Introduce good table manners to young children. Providing an atmosphere of fun and companionship at mealtime will encourage children to eat nutritious meals with the family, follow good examples, discuss their day, and take a break from both the television and electronics. Let kids set the table using their own decorative, personalized placemats and laminate them to use over and over again.

Pantomime these moves: Take a seat at a place setting. Unfold the napkin & place it on your lap. The fork is on the left, knife & spoon on the right. Begin eating after everyone is served. Ask to “please” pass the food. Toast & cheer accomplishments. Ask to be excused when finished.

Click here for additional tips on table etiquette and good dinning manners that you can review with your kids.

Let’s go to the table
And all take a seat

We love the company
At a place setting

On which we can eat
We love the company

All of our friends are here
Spreading the joy and cheer
Everyone we hold dear
We love the company

We unfold our napkin
With a snap

We love the company

And place it neatly
On our lap

We love the company

All of our friends are here
Spreading the joy and cheer
Everyone we hold dear
We love the company

A fork to the left
Knife and spoon to the right

We love the company

When everyone’s served
We’ll eat tonight

All of our friends are here
Spreading the joy and cheer
Everyone we hold dear
We love the company

We love the company

Pass the salad
And soup, if you please

We love the company

Pass all the dishes
Including the peas

All of our friends are here
Spreading the joy and cheer
Everyone we hold dear
We love the company 

We toast, we cheer
We stay amused

We love the company

And at the end
May we be excused

 We love the company

 All of our friends are here
Spreading the joy and cheer
Everyone we hold dear
We love the company

 

2. Days Old

Review the importance of reading food labels and adhering to expiration dates on both food and medication. Teach children to recognize when food might be spoiled or isn’t being stored properly, and to examine food closely before putting it in their mouths by using their senses and past experiences.

Days old
Days old
Food that smells bad may be too old

Days old
Days old
Don’t eat the food rottin’ in the bowl

All food has an expiration date
A day it goes bad
And a storage place
If it’s new and opened
Don’t even taste
If it’s days old,
throw it away

Days old
Days old
Don’t drink or eat dairy if it’s not kept cold

Days old
Days old
Don’t eat the food if it’s growin’ mold

All food has an expiration date
After that
It may be too late

Check the date
Printed on the pack
If it’s days old,
throw it away

Days old
Days old
Food that smells bad may be too old

Days old
Days old
Don’t eat the food rottin’ in the bowl

All food has an expiration date
After that
It may be too late
Check your food
Both front and back
If it’s days old,
throw it away

 

3. Down Down Baby

Inspired by a popular playground chant, this fun clapping, dancing or jump rope chant brings more silliness to children with a hidden message to stay away from sugary foods. Children can clap alone, or hand jive with a partner. They are challenged to move as directed: down, up, tick-tock rock their feet or upper body (side-to-side or front-to back), shake a leg, jump front, jump back, and jump off to the side - all while continuously clapping to the rhythm.

Down, down baby
Bakin’ hot
In the oven

Sweet, sweets baby
Straight up
Don’t want some more

Sugar in the donuts
Sugar, makes me rock
Sugar in the soda
Spillin’ down my sock

I just can’t eat some
Candy
It’s so bad
For me

Apples on the table
Peaches in a bowl
Eat some baby
Body’s shakin to my toes

Jumpin front
Jumpin back
Jumpin off to the side
Jumpin front
Jumpin back
Jumpin off to the side

4. Farmer's Market

An upbeat gross motor song about the variety of fresh produce in the farmer’s market. Lay out poly spots, carpet squares, foam sheets, post pictures/cut-outs around the room, or just pretend.

While visiting an imaginary market, kids locomotor from one stand/station to the next: walk to the broccoli, gallop to the tangerines, cross one foot over the other to the strawberries, jump to the artichokes, wiggle to the blueberries, skip to the cauliflower, rock to the pineapples. Let kids come up with there own healthy produce and make up their own moves.

I went to the farmer’s market
Just to see what I could buy
I was moving this way and that way
Come on and give it a try

Walked over to the broccoli
yeah, yeah
Walked over to the broccoli
yeah, yeah
Walked over to the broccoli
Come on! 

clap, clap

Galloped over to the tangerines
yeah, yeah
Galloped over to the tangerines
yeah, yeah
Galloped over to the tangerines
Come on!

 clap, clap

Crossed over to the strawberries
yeah, yeah
Crossed over to the strawberries
yeah, yeah
Crossed over to the strawberries
Come on!

clap, clap

Jumped over to the artichokes
yeah, yeah
Jumped over to the artichokes
yeah, yeah
I jumped over to the artichokes
Come on!

clap, clap

Wiggled over to the blueberries
yeah, yeah
Wiggled over to the blueberries
yeah, yeah
Wiggled over to the blueberries
Come on!

clap, clap

Skipped over to the cauliflower
yeah, yeah
Skipped over to the cauliflower
yeah, yeah
Skipped over to the cauliflower
Come on!

clap, clap

Rocked to the pineapples
yeah, yeah
Rocked to the pineapples
yeah, yeah
Rocked to the pineapples
Come on!

clap, clap

5. Shake, Mix, Pound, Roll
    (To Punchinello)

A fine motor recipe for the hands that introduces rhythm, tests the memory, demonstrates sequencing, and enhances listening skills. Children start with repetitious moves that speed up and condense as they progress. Let them come up with four of their own moves using the instrumental version.

Kids will use their dominant hand throughout the song, unless you instruct them to alternate back and forth on each verse so that they use the non-dominant hand as well.

Alternate version: hoe, plant, water, pick
                         (from attendees CKC 2006)

We shake & we shake
And we shake and shake and shake
We shake & we shake
And we shake and shake and shake

We mix and we stir
And we mix and stir and mix
We mix and we stir
And we mix and stir and mix

We pound & we pound
And we pound and pound and pound
We pound & we pound
And we pound and pound and pound

We roll and we roll
And we roll and roll and roll
We roll and we roll
And we roll and roll and roll

That smells good.
It does doesn’t it?

We shake & we shake
And we shake and shake and shake

We mix and we stir
And we mix and stir and mix

We pound & we pound
And we pound and pound and pound          

We roll and we roll
And we roll and roll and roll

Can I taste it!
You sure can!

We shake & we shake
And we mix and stir and mix

We pound & we pound
And we roll and roll and roll

We shake & we shake
And we mix and stir and mix

We pound & we pound
And we roll and roll and roll

Let’s make it a little faster
Yeah, let’s do that!

We shake & we mix
And we pound and we roll

We shake & we mix
And we pound and we roll

We shake & we mix
And we pound and we roll

How about we speed it up some more?
Are you ready?
Ready!

We shake & we mix
And we pound and we roll

We shake & we mix
And we pound and we roll

We shake & we mix
And we pound and we roll

It’s time to eat!

 6. I Lost It (Food Groups)

Food comes in a variety of textures, colors, and groups: vegetables, fruits, meats & dry beans, grains, dairy products, and sweets/fats. This is a good time to review the various food groups, their characteristics, their benefits, etc. This song gives us several ways to have fun with food groups.  Note: Sweets have been used in place of oils in the “Fats” group.

The lost food can be found and retrieved in the form of play food, colorful manipulatives, pictures, or even imaginary food. Children can locomotor to the various groups as they are identified. And once retrieved, children can sort, place into receptacles, count, build patterns, practice simple mathematics, or help plan their own nutritious meal.

I lost them. Can’t find them.
The veggies from my basket
Dark greens, tomatoes, carrots
Are missing from my basket.
Help fill my veggie basket

Dark greens, egg plant, carrots
Sweet corn, peas & potatoes

I lost them. Can’t find them.
The fruits from my big basket
Grapes, pears, apples, & oranges
Are missing from my basket
Help fill my big fruit basket 

Grapes, pears, apples, oranges
Kiwi, berries, bananas

I lost it. Can’t find it.
My meat & dry bean basket
Eggs, meats, nuts, fish & cooked beans
Are missing from my basket
Help fill my mean & bean basket

Meats like lamb, pork, or beef
Poultry, eggs, fish, cook beans

I lost them. Can’t find them.
Whole grains from my big basket
Bread, rice, pasta, and cereal
Are missing from my basket
Help fill my big grain basket

Bread, rice, pasta, cereal
Oatmeal, crackers, grits

I lost it. Can’t find it.
The dairy in my basket
Milk, cheese, yogurt & ice cream
Are missing from my basket
Help fill my dairy basket

Milk, cheese, yogurt
Cottage cheese, pudding

I lost them. Can’t find them.
The sweets from my sweet basket
Cookies, candy, and soda
Are missing from my basket
Help fill my sweet, sweet basket

Cookies, candy, soda
Punch, pie, donuts, cupcakes

 

7. Vitamins  

Sung to Beethoven’s 5th, these quirky lyrics are about the benefits of Vitamins A, B, C, D, and E. Review how our bodies benefit from the vitamins in nutritious foods, why it is often necessary to take a daily supplement, and that vitamins are not candy.

Vitamin A
Vitamin B

Vitamin A
Your body needs, for good strong teeth
For healthy bones, and healthy hair,
…For you to see

Vitamin A
Vitamin B
Vitamins C, D, E

Vitamin C
For healthy gums, for healthy teeth
To heel a scrape, to fight disease

We get our vitamins, from foods like cauliflower, tangerines,
From oranges, and from bananas, grapefruit, kiwi,
broccoli,
strawberries, and tomatoes, turnips, carrots, leafy greens

So, let’s go eat it…
So, let’s go eat it…
So, let’s go eat it…

Vitamins A, B, C
Other things like Iron, Protein
Folic Acid, Calcium, Zinc

Nutrients your body needs
No your body cannot make them
No your body cannot make them

Keep it healthy.
Keep it strong.
Keep your body moving along. 

Vitamins
In small amounts

And so we try to eat the foods that will always feed our bodies something good -- something good.

We take a supplement to make up for the vitamins that aren’t in our foods --  in our foods.

Vitamin A
Vitamin B
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Vitamin E

 

8. My Favorite Game

Children pick their favorites from a bizarre buffet of objects laid out on the floor. Be creative with foam pieces, construction paper, photos, carpet squares, or the children’s artwork. They pick a favorite (food, shape, object, or color), and then select another, and another, as directed, while they locomotor following specific directions: around, between, over, behind, back, and freestyle. Locomotor moves: walk, jump, march, walk, skip, gallop, leap, run, one foot crossing over the other, etc.

My favorite fruit and veggie game
Is where you tell me your favorite
And I do the same

And then we move around them
Move around them
We move around them
Move around them

My favorite fruit and veggie game
Is where you choose a different one
And I do the same

And then we move between them
Move between them
We move between them
Move between them

My favorite fruit and veggie game
Is where you choose a different one
And I do the same
And then we move right over them

Move right over
We move right over them
Move right over

My favorite fruit and veggie game
Is where you choose a different one
And I do the same

And then we move behind them
Move behind them
We move behind them
Move behind them

My favorite fruit and veggie game
Is where you choose a different one
And I do the same

And then back around them
back around them
We back around them
back around them

My favorite fruit and veggie game
Is where you choose a different one
And I do the same

And then we keep on moving
Keep on moving
Just keep on moving
Keep on moving
 

9. Aloha!

Come explore the tropical fruits and unique culture of Hawaii through interpretive dance and pantomime. Girls sway hips gently from side-to-side with hands and arms flowing smoothly. Holding scarves will help enhance the smooth movement of the hands. Boys follow the same moves while stomping forward and back.

Dance: Come walk (hele mai), pull fish you catch (huki), bend to the underground oven (hulo), stretch arms to each side & tilt (kiko’o), turn (huli), raise your hands to the sun (pi’i), come, push the leaves (pale), reach for the fruit (lalau), stretch arms to each side & soar (kiko’o), turn, raise your hands, come, return (ho’i), wait (kali iki), thank you (mahalo).

In the beautiful land of Hawaii
Your hips sway from side to side
Gently this way, and back that way
Come with me…

Come, come…
…..walk over our land, over our land, Hawaii
Hele mai (come)

Pull, pull….
the fish we catch from, the fish we catch from the sea
E huki ka kou (let us pull)


Bend, bend…
down to the oven at your feet
E kulo, ka kou (bend at the waist toward the imu – oven)

Stretch, stretch
…..your arms wide and, glide like a bird, soaring free
Kīko’o, ka kou  (grouse, pheasants, duck, goose, dove)

Turn, turn….
and dance around in the cool breeze
E huli (turn) 

Raise up,
toward the sun and…. toward the sun and feel its heat
E pi’i, ka kou (raise)

Come walk over our land
…..over our land, Hawaii
Hele mai (come)

Push, push….
the long leaves of…..of the kohala tree
E pale, ka kou (push aside)

Reach, reach…
and gather juicy fruit….the juicy fruit you see
E
lālau, ka kou (reach out, extend)

Stretch, stretch
…..your arms wide and, glide like a bird, soaring free
E Kīko’o, ka kou

Turn, turn….
and dance around in the cool breeze
E huli (turn) 

Raise up,
toward the sun and…. toward the sun and feel its heat
E pi’i,  ka kou (raise)

Come walk over our land
…..over our land, Hawaii
Hele mai (come)

Return…
to were we came from, to where we came from…join me
Ho’i Ka Kou (intransitive)

We wait…one with our land in harmony
K
ali iki (wait a moment)

Thank you for coming to, our beautiful land, Hawaii
Mahalo!

 

10. Wild Vines

This untamed, upbeat song can be used with or without props.  Kids can dance freely throughout the song, or play follow-the-leader. Try giving directions to add to the fun: around, hi, low, fast, slow, in, out, straight, and backward.

Using rope, yarn, string, or chalk, children can make shapes or straight line designs. Ropes can be laid parallel to each other, or laid like a starburst on the floor. Lead kids through locomotor exercises in-between, around, and over their ropes: walk, jump, march, walk, skip, gallop, leap, run, one foot crossing over the other, etc. Yeah!

Wild Vines
Help me step in time
Blackberry, melon vines
And pumpkin, all entwined
Laid out on the ground
Let’s move them around

Movin’ here and there
Movin’ everywhere
Wild vines
Watch my moves
Outside or in the groove

Wild vines
Growing high
Wild vines
Drooping low
Every….. everywhere
everywhere we go

Wild vines
growing fast
Wild vines
growing slow
Wild vines crossin' over
Not tangled in the toes

Wild vines
In and out
Wild vines
All about
Come on everyone
Let’s all give a shout

            Yeah!

            Yeah!

Wild vines
Growing straight
Straight up that
Wooden gate
Looks like they’re
In a line
Tomatoes on the vine

Wild vines
Back they grow
Just came from there you know

Wild vines
We can move with ease
Come on and play with these
Yeah!

Here we grow!

            Yeah!

 

11.  After We Cook        (To “Way Down South in Dixie”)

Cooking can be a messy job, and cleaning up is all part of the fun. It’s time to wash and dry dishes, wring the rag out, put the dishes, pots and pans away in their proper place, look around, check up, check down, wipe the counters, and sweep or mop the floor.

Let the children pantomime these actions throughout the song using imaginative play, or using a prop such as a scarf, tissue, or paper towel. Let them find creative ways to clean by using their hands, elbows, knees, or even by scooting along on their behinds. Have them clean in wide circles, small circles, front-to-back, overhead, below, behind, in front, side-to- side, etc. It’s also a good time to discuss germs, and how to clean properly.

When we cook, make a mess
and have to clean, before we rest

So we wash, and we wash,
and we wash, and we rinse
So we wash, and we wash,
and we wash, and we rinse

Now the dishes are all dripping wet
So over there, a towel you get

And we dry, and we dry, and we dry, and we dry
And we dry, and we dry, and we dry, and we dry

Now put them all away in
their proper place
Mixing bowls, and
Pots and pans all fit
In a special space

Now take, a look
Now take a look around you
Check up, check down
And see what there is to do

Stains on the counter and the walls
We grab a rag to clean it all

And we wipe, and we wipe,
and we wipe, and we wipe
And we wipe, and we wipe,
and we wipe, and we wipe

Those floors look we just ate there
So bring the broom, and have a care

Now we sweep, and we sweep,
and we mop, and we mop
Now we sweep, and we sweep,
and we mop, and we mop

Now take look around you
Just take, a look
The room looks nice
Because we cleaned
The best that we were able
The food smells good
So let’s go set the table

The food smells good
So let’s go set the table

 

12.   If I Lived on an Island (Seafood)

Introduce children to the unique flavors and textures of seafood: lobster, octopus, shrimp, crab, clam chowder, oysters, etc. Discuss the unusual seafood they’ve eaten and ask them to describe the different tastes, textures, and experiences. 

Encourage children to dance a calming hula with or without scarves, to move side-to-side like a crab (either standing or on all fours with their tummy in the air), to transport an object on their tummy (or back) while moving, or to sling their arms around like an octopus while alone (or standing with partners).

If I lived on an island
Right by the sea    … by the sea   ... by the sea
I’d catch some fish and set some traps
Eat my food from the sea

I’d eat some lobster, and octopus ….and octopus
I’d eat some shrimp, crab, and clam chowder
‘Til my belly was full

If I lived on an island
Close to the beach ….to the beach, to the beach
I’d catch some fish and set some traps
Eat my food from the sea

I’d sit by a palm tree
While my seafood cooked … my seafood cooked
I’d toss a line, and make you dinner
With the fish on my hook

If I lived on an island
Close to the beach …to the beach, to the beach
I’d catch some fish and set some traps
Eat my food from the sea

I’d eat some crawfish, and muscles too ….and muscles, too
I’d eat squid, abalone, and scallops
‘Til my belly was full

If I lived on an island
Close to the beach       ….to the beach, to the beach
I’d catch some fish and set some traps
Eat my food from the sea

I’d sit by a palm tree
Crack some oysters, too   … crack some oysters, too
I’d eat the meat, and string the shells
Make a necklace for you

 

13. Show Me You Love Me

This relaxing cool-down song promotes family togetherness, and reminds adults to be good role models for health and fitness in a loving atmosphere.

Show kids you love them with tight honey bear hugs, by eating together, by planning their meal time, by making good food & life choices, by stopping and listening, by keeping them active, and by setting good examples.  This is a wonderful time to learn and introduce coordinating moves using sign language.

Show me you love me with
Tight honey bear hugs
With tight honey bear hugs
You show me you care

Show me you love me
By eating together
By eating together
You show me your there

You know I’m here for you
You know I adore you
With kisses and hugs
Don’t you know that I care?

Show me you love me
By planning my meal time
By planning my meal time
You show me your there

Show me you love me
By making good choices
By making good choices
You show me you care

You know I’m here for you
You know I adore you
With kisses and hugs
Don’t you know that I care?

Show me you love me
By stopping and listening
By stopping and listening
You show me your there

Show me you love me
By keeping me active
By keeping me active
You show me you care

With all that I do for you
How I watch over you
I’ll teach you the right way
And show you I care

You know I’m here for you
You know I adore you
With kisses and hugs
Don’t you know that I care?

Show me you love me
By setting examples
By setting examples
You show me you care

I’ll eat with you, plan for you
Make good food choices
I’ll stop & I’ll listen
Keep active. I care.

 

14.  What Can I Make?

Once children have helped prepared the meal, they can focus on the presentation. Let them use their imagination and artistic talents to place the food creatively on their plate. They can make animals: flying birds, tiny pecking chicks, tall giraffes, marching ants, and hiding turtles. Children can practice using fake food, foam shapes, construction paper, pictures, or even leaves. Layering gives art a 3D effect. Allow kids to come up with their own animals, silly human faces, or anything they want to make.

Children can get physically active by mimicking these animals and their characteristics using the movement of their own bodies.

What can I make with the food on my plate
Everything here is a different shape
If I move food around
This way and that
Turn it here, place it there

Whoa!

I can make a big bird
Soar right through the air
Flying, gliding into the air
With wings and things
Soaring into the air

I can make tiny chicks
Pecking that and pecking this
They’re awfully tiny
But, too cute to miss
Pecking around on my dish 

I can make tall giraffes on my plate
Long necked giraffes on my plate
With ears and a nose
And a long looking face
Wow!    -    giraffes on my plate!

I can make ants march across my plate
Marching, marching across my plate
All bunched together
or marching straight
ants across my plate

I can make turtles moving slower than slow
Moving slower than slow you know
With big round shells
Heads through their holes
turtles slower than slow

I use lettuce, mushrooms
Peas and green beans
Orange wedges
And cucumber rings
With the food on my plate
I can move and create
Just about anything.
Oh Yeah!
Just about anything.
Alright
Just about anything.

15.  What Can I Make?   cont.

A continuation of song # 14, where kids expand their imagination and artistic talents to present the food they have prepared: waddling penguins, swimming fish, lumbering hippos, jumping frogs, and lazy lambs.

Children can get physically active by mimicking these animals and their characteristics using the movement of their own bodies.

What else can I make
with the food on my plate
Everything here is a different shape
If I move food around
This way and that
Turn it here, place it there

I can make penguins waddle, waddle along
Waddle to a penguin song
Wide bellies and
their feet so strong
penguins waddle along

I can make silly fish with silly fins
Silly, willy silly fins
And puckered lips
On off they swim
With their silly fins

I can make hippos wide, so wide & round
hippos, wide & wide & round
Those big beasts lumber
over the ground
Hippos wide & round

I can make those froggies leap off my plate
Jumping, hopping right off my plate
I want to eat them
But they just won’t wait
There they go, off my plate.

I can make soft lambs, stop and rest
soft lazy lambs stop and rest
They’re not moving around
They’re doing their best
To stop and take rest.

I use bean sprouts, egg plants
Peas and cherries
Pumpkins, lemons
Tangerines
With the food on my plate
I can move and create
Just about anything.
Oh Yeah!
Just about anything.
Alright
Just about anything
