1. Clap One to the Left
This song helps emphasize concepts such as right, left, front, back, up, and low, as the children are directed to clap in a specific location or direction.  It teaches rhythm as children learn to speed up or slow down in order to fit a number of claps (1-4) into a given space of time. The correct rhythm is provided by knocks and ticks.  Young children will be challenged to count the correct number of claps. Your goal with them is simply to get them to clap in response.  Don’t try to get them to clap a number of times or in any specific direction.  A slower version "Clap 1 Far Out" can be found on "Smart Songs for Kids 2".

You'd better listen
and clap where I tell you

Clap 1 To the left <Clap>                             
4 To the right <Clap Clap Clap Clap>
2 To the front <Clap Clap>
3 To the back <Clap Clap Clap> 
2 Right Clap
1 straight up <Clap>
3 down low <Clap Clap Clap>

Once again
Now here we go.

Clap 2 To the right
3 To the front
1 To the left
2 To the back
4 way up
2 down low
4 straight back

Once again
Now here we go.

Clap 3 To the front
1 To the right
2 To the left
4 To the back
3 To the left
1 straight up
2 down low 

And the song ends
Just like so

2. Nine Big Planets
The 9 big planets in orbit around the sun.

There are 9 big planets
Going around the Sun
There are Mercury and Venus
And much bigger ones
We live on planet Earth
And farther back is Mars
Out there with the stars
Jupiter’s the biggest
Saturn has some rings
Uranus & Neptune
Out there wandering
Pluto’s all that’s left
About as small as Mars
Out there with the stars

There are 9 big planets
Going around the Sun
There are Mercury and Venus
And much bigger ones
We live on planet Earth
And farther back is Mars
Out there with the stars

Jupiter’s the biggest
Saturn has some rings
Uranus & Neptune
Out there wandering
Pluto’s all that’s left
About as small as Mars
Out there with the stars

3. Plant a Seed
Most plants need water and sunlight to grow, some more than others. Plants can grow from seeds in different climates. When you buy plants at the store, they come with instructions on how often to water them, and how much sunlight they need.

o        Types of plants: trees, plants, bush, flowers, grass, plants, vines, weeds, seaweed, cactus, edibles fruits and vegetables, inedible berries, etc.

o        Characteristics of plants to introduce: Blooms, grows toward the sun, twists together, branches, thorns, catches insects, grows under water…

o        Location (Jungle, ocean, city, park, in house, in sun, in shade)

Activities:

- Place a bean in a jar along the side where it can be observed, insert a moist paper towel.  Place it in the sunlight.  Keep the towel moist, and watch it grow. Baby food jars work well, but any jar will do. Once the bean sprouts, you can replant it in a pot and soil

- Build a paper garden using Templates 12 and Template 12B.

- Take 2 small plants. Cover one small plant so that it doesn't get sunlight, and leave the other out in the sun.  Show the kids how sun affects a plant's growth. 

Plant a seed
and a flower may grow
or a tree
from the dirt
up they go
In the sun
Water well
and you know

Plant a seed, and a flower may grow.

Plant a seed
and a flower may grow
or a tree

home to birdies
you know
And its leaves
in the wind
they will blow

Plant a seed, and a flower may grow.

Plant a seed
and a flower may grow
or a tree

b
anging low
Plant a seed
you will reap
what you sew

Plant a seed, and a flower may grow.
Plant a seed, and a flower may grow.

4. Insect Acts
Discuss bugs/insects and their different characteristics (colors, shapes, how they move, where they live, etc.). Children should know what bugs to be wary of and that bugs have their place both in the food chain and in nature. Use the bugs to reinforce letter usage and phonics. (B is for Butterfly, Bee, etc)  Click here for more on Insects.

Let's see what you know
about insects or bugs.

Some bugs crawl down on the ground
On the ground, On the ground
Some bugs crawl down on the ground
Which bugs crawl down on the ground?
(beetles, ants, roaches, spiders, caterpillars, etc)

Others like to fly around
fly around, fly around
Others like to fly around
Which bugs like to fly around?
(bees, butterfly, moths, wasps, fly, ladybugs, dragonflies, mosquitoes, etc.)

Some bugs might just bite on you
Bite on you, Bite on you
Some bugs might just bite on you
Which bugs might just bite on you?
(mosquitoes, flies, ants, fleas, etc.)

Others might just sting you too
Sting you too, sting you too
Others might just sting you too
Which bugs might just sting you too?
(bumble bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, etc.)

Some bugs have so many legs
Many legs, many legs
Some bugs have so many legs
Which bugs have so many legs?
(caterpillar, spider, ants, etc.)

5. There are 12 Months a Year
Start off each week with this song and show the kids which month/week/day today is on a calendar. At the beginning of each month, discuss and mark the important days of the month (holidays, birthdays, special events, etc.) Have the children count the number of days in the current month, and even the number of months until the end of the year, or until the next special occasion.

ACTIVITY: Have the kids make name plates for each month and then graph the months they were born.

There are 12
Month’s a year
Shout them like a cheer
In groups of 3
Shout after me
All 12 months
Of the year

January, February, March  HEY!
April, May, June  HO!
July, August, September  HEE!
October, November December WHEW!

There are 12
Month’s a year
Shout them like a cheer
In groups of 3
Shout after me
All 12 months
Of the year

January, February, March  HEY!
April, May, June  HO!
July, August, September  HEE!
October, November December WHEW!

Which day starts the New Year?  ___?___ (January)

Spring comes in...? ___?___  (March)

Summer starts in the month of...?  ___?___ (June)

You were born in the month of
___?___

We are in the month of ___?___

Which day ends the year?  ___?___ (December)

 

6. Days of the Week
This can be played as a game. You can turn the song off and children can take turns shouting the way they want the "Days of the Week" to be said.  They can take turns with the teacher and vice versa.  It is a good time to introduce the concepts of slow, fast, soft, loud, sad, happy, mad, high pitch, and low pitch. Use the calendar as an aide, and as the days are sung, have the children tap on the proper days of the week. Introduce emotion, and assign a physical motion that the kids do to each command. They will make a sad face, bunch their fists in anger, smile, shout to the ceiling or cup their hands around their mouths to be loud, hunch down to get lower, put one finger over their mouth to be quiet,  etc. The technique of the song can be used to teach children how to spell their name or memorize their address, phone number, or other specifics.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
(Slower)    Monday, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday
(Faster)     Monday, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday
(Softly)    Monday, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday
(Louder)    Monday, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday
(Sad)     Monday, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday
(Happy)    Monday, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday
(Madder)    Monday, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday
(High)    Monday, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday
(Lower)    Monday, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday

From the middle (Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues)
Backward (Sun, Sat, Fri, Thurs, Wed, Tues, Mon)
Spanish (Lunes, Martes, Mie'rcoles, Jueves, Viernes, Sa'bado, Domingo)

7. Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow
A difficult concept to teach preschoolers. You can use a calendar and show the students where "today" is, and then move forward and back. Using hand signs helps.  Point down at your feet for "today".  Point forward for "tomorrow" or "the future". Hitch hike your thumb over your shoulder for "yesterday" or "the past". Tick tock your head around in a circle for the "after that's" and "after nows". Use this song to teach the concept of TIME. What will the kids do tomorrow? What will they do today? What did they do yesterday? What do they want to be in the future?

Today is the day we are in
Tomorrow’s the day that comes
after today
The day after tomorrow will come
After that, after that, after that, after that

Today is the day we are in
Tomorrow’s the day that comes
after today
The day after tomorrow will come
After that, after that, after that, after that

Today is the day we are in
Yesterday’s the day that came
before today
The day before yesterday
Came before that, before that, before that, before that.

The present is here and it’s now.
The past is what came before
what’s here and now
The future is the time that comes
After now, after now, after now, after now.

The present is here and it’s now.
The past is what came before
what’s here and now
The future is the time that comes
After now, after now, after now, after now.

8. Four Seasons
Use this song to teach the children about the weather, the seasons, and sun safety. What does someone wear in the snow? In the rain? In the Sun?  Where does it snow? What activities do we do in the snow? In the rain? What do we do with leaves that fall from the trees?
ACTIVITY: Go on a nature walk and have the children pick up leaves, sticks, rocks, dirt, pine cones, and other natural things they find on the ground. Bring them back into the classroom and first categorize them into groups, count all of the sticks, rocks, etc. Make a graph based on the results of their count. Then have the kids put them in sequential order.  Which came first the leaf or the twig? The dirt or the pine cone?  Make a collage with paper leaves and put the kids names on them.  Have them cut out flowers, leaves, trees, etc. from a magazine and add them to the collage. Have the kids glue the items on a piece of paper to make a face.

In the spring the flowers bloom
The cold is gone
In the spring the flowers bloom
The cold is gone

It can get windy and rainy
Days are just a little zany
In the spring the flowers bloom
The cold is gone

In the summer comes the heat
And days are long
In the summer comes the heat
And days are long  

I wear sun screen and sun glasses
I play sports, take fewer classes
In the summer comes the heat
And days are long

In the fall leaves can turn brown
And drop from trees
In the fall leaves can turn brown
And drop from trees

We can pile the leaves real high
And jump in like we can fly
In the fall leaves can turn brown
And drop from trees

Then comes winter with the cold
and sometimes snow
Then comes winter with the cold
and sometimes snow

We will dress in our warm clothes
Cover up from head to toe
In the winter comes the cold
and sometimes snow

9. There Are 5 Senses
Review the 5 senses. As an example, point to the part of your body that answers the question in the song. Have the children point to the part of their body that is the answer. Toward the end of the song, children are given an opportunity to name things that they can see, hear, smell, taste and touch.

Name some things you touch, you touch with your skin
___?___

 

10.  Up & Down Our Bodies
Purpose: Familiarity with our bodies and following directions within a given period of time. Discuss what the various parts of our bodies do. How many parts do we have? Does everyone have them?  It's a good time to discuss disabilities.  What if we didn't have some of these parts? 
Click here for some suggestions and activities.

Follow me little children
follow me, follow me
I will show you a wonder
as true as can be.  

Come away with me here
Come away with me there
On a trip up and down our bodies

We will tap on our noses
We’ll rub on our chins

We will slide over elbows
and drum on our shins

We will wiggle our fingers
And tap with our toes

As we travel our bodies like so

We will tug on our ears
Pat our cheeks, 1, 2, 3

We will click with our heels
We will scratch on our knees

We will shake our own hands
Brush across our tummies

On a trip up and down our bodies.
On a trip up and down our bodies

11.  Off To See The Doctor
Discuss why we go to the doctor, the process of a typical doctor's visit, as indicated in the song, and why it's important to tell your parents if you aren't feeling well, but not to fake it. Review "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Why do we have to get shots?  What does a high temperature mean? Why and how do we take medicine? Do we take medicine whenever we want to? Doe we take as much as we want to?  Does medicine always taste good? Does everyone have to get shots? Do your parents always do what the doctor tells them to do? Talk about the various aspects of a check-up and their purpose.

I’m off to see the doctor
I don’t feel very well
He’ll take my blood pressure
And temperature
See what I weigh
Might get shots for sure

No, I’m not afraid
Of the doctor
He knows best what to do
So I’ll take all my medicine
And feel better, soon

That’s right
I’m off to see the doctor
I don’t feel very well
He’ll peek in my ears
And say open wide
He’ll check my body
Press on my sides

No, I’m not afraid
Of the doctor
He knows best what to do
So I’ll take all my medicine
And feel better, soon

13. I Spy  (shapes)
1) Tape up a variety of shapes in the room and have the children identify them as the song plays.  2) Give the children a physical activity that they have to complete when they find the shape. For instance, "Hop over to each shape you find."  3)  Have the children find shapes in everyday things that they see in and out of the classroom. 4) Tape off large shapes on the floor, and when the kids find the shape, they have to all squeeze into that shape on the floor without stepping over the taped line.  5) Place paper cut-outs of shapes (each shape can be a different color) on the floor and have children try to cross the room by only stepping on a specific color or shape. It's a silly, inexpensive version of Twister. 6) Give the kids a baggie of small foam or paper shapes and let them use their imagination to see what they can make with them. 7) Tape off child size shapes on the floor, and have the children lay down on them to make the shape. You can take pictures of them and mount them with the proper name underneath. 8) Have the kids toss bean bags into taped off shapes on the ground and record how many bean bags land in what shapes. 9) Children can identify and count the many shapes in their room or the hallway.

o        Types (diamond, triangle, rectangle, square, cube, box, heart, octagon, hexagon…)

o        Things in different shapes (kite, table, window, frame, donut, wheel, truck, piece of pie…)

14. Transportation
The many modes of transportation.  How did people get around in the old days?  How will they get around in the future?  What are the kid's experiences with different modes?  Is one faster than the other, louder, harder, or bumpier?  What kind of sounds do they make? How do they move? (in the air, on the ground, on a track, on the dirt, in the street, on the water...) Where do they have to go to take these modes? (a bus station, a bus stop, a train station, an airport, a stable, the driveway or garage...)  Where can these modes take you?  Where can they not take you?  Can they take a train to school?  Do their parents take a bus to work?  Have they ever ridden on a bus? a train? a horse? a wagon? What are some of the ways that kids get around now? (Skateboard, motorized skateboard, roller skates, ice skates, roller shoes, bike, scooter, etc.)

Transportation

There are many ways to go
Take a boat over the water
Sail or motor, try to row  

15.  Don’t Talk to Strangers

Teaching tip:  Remind children who they can to go to if they are lost.  Teach them that, mothers with children, other children, store clerks, police officers in uniform, fireman, and security guards in uniform are usually safe havens. 

“Don’t talk to strangers” can send a mixed message to kids who are encouraged to greet strangers everyday when with their parents. Teach them to trust their feelings, but follow specific rules.  And, that it is okay to shout; “NO!” to someone they don’t know and run away.

Teach children how to dial "911".

Teach children that there are good and bad people in the world, and that bad people don't look like they are bad.  They can look nice, dress nice, have a nice smile, and sound nice.  What do they think a bad person looks like?  A good person? A nice person? A mean person?

Practice and set-up real life role-plays with them whenever possible. Teach them not to fall for tricks designed to trick them into going places, or lure them away from friends; help finding pets, the promise of money/gifts/rides, carrying packages, helping with directions, playing games, playing with an unseen child.  Kids must always check with their caregivers first.

They should:

bulletNever share their address, name or phone number with people they don’t know
bullet Lock their home & car doors/windows and never open doors to people they don’t know.  
bulletNever stray from their parents or caregivers in the company of strangers.
bullet Play and walk where their parents direct them to, avoiding short cuts.
bullet Try to always walk with a buddy.

Please stay safe
Don’t talk to strangers
People you don’t know
You don’t know what
they are thinking
Don’t go with them
No, No, No

Strangers look like
normal people
But inside you can’t see
if they are bad or they’re evil
Things aren’t what they seem

Please stay safe
Don’t talk to strangers
People you don’t know
You don’t know what
they are thinking
Don’t go with them
No, No, No!
 

If they ask you for a favor
go straight to your family
Then you will be well protected
if that stranger’s mean

16. To Cross a Street
Discuss the importance of always looking both ways when crossing the street and using the safety tips in this song.  What can happen if they don't loo
k for cars? Teach children the colors of a traffic light and what they mean so that they
associate traffic light color with an appropriate response. Instruct them to practice proper traffic movement in the car with whomever is driving them.

When I go to
cross a street
I look for a street light
Or go to a corner
I want to do it right
 
I look both ways
Left and right
See the street is clear
Before I step my foot in
Because my life is dear

To cross a street
I cross it carefully
If I am hit by a car
That could be the end of me

When I go to
Cross a street
I wait for a green light
always stop, look and listen
I want to do it right

I wait for cars
to pass by
they might not see me
I hold a grownup’s hand
I’m as careful as can be

To cross a street
I cross it carefully
If I am hit by a car
That could be the end of me
 

17. If There is a Fire
Teaching tip:  At home and school, have emergency drills and make children practice the "stop, drop & roll" technique, as well as, crawling down low, and using an item they find near by to make noise. Teach children where the exits are, and where the safe havens are in the case of a fire, tornado, or an earthquake.  If above the 1st floor, lead them through the halls to the stair well and the proper exits. Click here for more tips. SS - Tips (Fire)

If there is a fire
I get out
I practice
and know where to go

If I see some smoke
I crawl down low
The air is
much better below

If I am on fire
I stop my body
I stop, I drop fast & I roll

When I know I can
I call for help
I dial 911
and breath slow

The fireman
puts the fire out
If I’m still inside
I make noise

So he knows
just where
to come and get me.

He’ll come get
a girl or a boy

18. I Know Spanish (numbers)

I know Spanish
How about you?
I know numbers
You can too
I say words
Here’s what you do
Copy me
So you’ll know too.

When I say one,
you say uno.
One
, uno
one, ___?___

Spanish numbers

one, uno
two, dos
three, tres
four, cuatro
five, cinco
six, sies
seven, siete
eight, ocho
nine, nueve
ten, diez

 

A note about COUNTING...


Rote counting is the simplest of counting concepts to learn. The ability to count by rote can be deceiving. One cannot assume that just because a child has memorized the numbers from 1-100 or more, does not mean that a child has an understanding of what those numbers mean.

Children should learn count objects (one-to-one), learn that the number of objects won't change if you move them around, learn that a total number of objects includes all of the objects in a particular group, understand the number names that indicate a position in a series (1st, 2nd, 3rd..), learn how to add on to a total number of objects that have been previously counted.

Children learn how to count when they are surrounded by a variety of counting activities and experiences.

Counting exercises....

- Shadow counting is saying either the odd or the even numbers softly and consistently throughout the count.
- Try clapping only on the odd numbers, and slapping your knee on the even numbers. Then instruct the children to be silent when they clap.
- Try popping up a puppet only on the even numbers.
- Count the number of steps it takes to get somewhere.
- Count as you stretch your body taller, and shrink as you count in reverse order.
- Find a common attribute that the children have, i.e. wearing red, tied shoes, etc.  Count the number of children with that attribute.
- Each time the children line up, have them count off. Have the first child shout, and every other child whisper.

23. Make Up a Story (About a Boy)
Note: Have the children take turns filling in the blanks of this story. Answers can be silly or serious, or both.

There once was a boy named __1__, who had hair the color of a __2__ and eyes color of __3__.  He lived in a __4__ right beside a __5__ that had very pretty __6__ in the back.  This boy, named __7__, had two pet animals; one was a __8__ named __9__ who was as wide as a __10__ and liked to eat lots of __11__.  The other pet animal was a __12__ named __ 13__ who was as tiny as a __14__, and likes to watch plenty of __15__. The boy and his pet animals enjoyed going to the __16__ to sit on top of the __17__ and watch the __18__ go by.  He also liked to go by himself to the __19__ where he could play in the __20__, and roller blade around the __21__.  When he did, he always passed the __22__ store, and sometimes, he would dig in his pockets for some __ 23__, and go in the store to buy himself as many __24__ as he could afford.  At other times, he would go straight to his friend’s house.  His friend’s name was __25__.  They would play together and build a wonderful __26__, and paint it the color of __27__, and draw a bunch of __ 28__ on it.  Then they would get in and pretend they could __29__, or pretend they were great __30__ in the land of __31__.  The boy always had to be home before __32__, because it wasn’t safe to stay out too late.  So, he would leave his friend’s house early and head for __33__, and he always made sure he got home in time for __34__. He would give his mom a big __35__, take a nice warm __36__, put on his comfortable __37__, and then crawl into __38__.  Once in bed, he would think about his __39__, fall asleep, and dream about being a famous __40__ one day.     The End
