One fell off and broke his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
"No more monkeys jumpin' on the bed"

About You!

Doodle-doodle-doodle

Doodle-doodle-doodle-do!
I love you!


I’m a Little Valentine
(Tune: I’m a little teapot)

With ribbons and lace I’m a beautiful sight.
I can say, “I love you” on Valentine’s Day,
Just put me in an envelope and give me away!


Yes, I do
(Tune: Three Blind Mice)

I love you, I love you
Yes, I do, yes, I do
I love every night and day,
I love you when I work and play,
I love you in so many ways,
I love you!

May There Always Be Sunshine

May there always be sunshine
May there always be blue skies
May there always be mama (papa, good friends, family)
May there always be me!

Spanish
Que haya siempre sol
Que haya siempre cielo
Que este (estan) siempre mi mama (padre, amigos, familia)
Que este siempre yo.

Seven red, six red, five red valentines,
Four red, three red, two red valentines,
One red Val-en-tine.


Daddy’s Homecoming

I’m so glad when Daddy comes home,
Glad as I can be.
Clap my hands and shout for joy,
And climb upon his knee.
Put my arms around his neck,
Hug him tight like this!
Pat his cheeks and give him “what?”
A great big KISS! (make kiss sound)


Thank You Dad
(tune: Row, Row, Row your boat)

Thanks, thanks, thank you Dad,
Thanks for loving me!
Hugs and kisses, Hugs and kisses,
Come to you from me!

I Love My Mommy
(tune: Up on the Housetop)

I love my mommy, Yessiree!
She is very good to me!
She makes me cookies and yummy treats,
That’s my mom and she’s real neat!
Oh, oh, oh, who wouldn’t know?
Oh, oh, oh, who wouldn’t know?
I love my mommy and she loves me,
That’s the way it’s supposed to be!


The More We Get Together

The more we get together, together, together,
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be,
For your friends are my friends,
And my friends are your friends,
The more we get together the happier we’ll be.

Family
(this is a chant)
F-A-M-I-L-Y
That’s Us!
We’re together its true!
Me and you and you and you and you!

A Great Big Hug
(tune: The Wheels on the Bus)

Oh, I just love your hugs and kisses,
Hugs and kisses hugs and kisses.
Oh, I just love your hugs and kisses,
Come and give me some.

A great big hug and lots of kisses,
Lots of kisses, lots of kisses.
A great big hug and lots of kisses,
Ready? Here I come!

You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are gray.
You’ll never know dear
How much I love you.
Please don’t take
My sunshine away.

(this is fun for kids to do as solos, also to prep to sing to mommy’s all by them selves by the end of the month)

Home

Home is where the heart is
And warmth and love abound.
Home is where warm circling arms
Go all the way around.

Smile Song

I have something in my pocket
That belongs across my face
I keep it very close at hand
In a most convenient place

I’m sure you wouldn’t guess it
If you guessed a long, long while
So, I’ll take it out and put in on
It’s a music maker’s smile!

I Love You
(tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)

Suzy, Suzy, I love you,
I love you, yes I do.
Suzy, Suzy, I love you,
Yes I do.

Substitute the names of the children for the names in the song.

Five Pretty valentines

5 pretty valentines waiting in the store,
(child's name) bought one,
And then there were 4
4 pretty valentines for you and me,

And then there were 3
3 pretty valentines wondering what to do,
(child's name) bought one,
And then there were 2
2 pretty valentines thinking up some fun,
(child's name) bought one,
And then there was 1
1 pretty valentine said “buy me and run!”
(child's name) did that,
And then there were none

My Family

If you peak into my room at night
My family you will see
They kiss my face and tuck me in tight.
Why? Because they love me!

This is mother

This is the mother, kind and dear,
This is the father, sitting near.
This is the brother, strong and tall
This is the sister, who plays with her ball
This is the baby, the littlest of all
See my whole family, large and small.


This is the Father

This is the father short and stout.
This is the mother with children about.
This is the brother, tall you see.
This is the sister with doll on her knee.
This is the baby sure to grow,
And here is the family all in a row.


This is the Mother

This is the mother,
This is the father,
This is the brother tall.
This is the sister,
This is the baby,
Oh, how we love them all!


Heart
I put my hands together,
This is how I start.
I curve my fingers right around,
And I can make a heart!

The love Bug
It begins with a grin (smile Broadly)
It turns to giggle (put both hands on mouth and giggle)
You start to laugh (throw head back and laugh out loud)
Your legs start to wiggle (put feet in the air and shake)
You look all around for someone to hug (move eyes back and forth)
What can you do (shrug shoulders)
You've caught the love bug (hug another child or yourself)
ACHOOO!

5 Little Hearts

5 little hearts, all in a row
The first one said, "I love you so."
The second one said, "Will you be my Valentine?"
The third one said, "I will, if you'll be mine,"
The fourth one said, "I'll always be your friend."
The fifth one said, "We'll all be friends until the very end."

How Many Valentines?

Bee My Valentine

Won't you "bee" my valentine (point to friend)
And buzz away with me? (pretend to fly)

Because you're my Honey Bee. (throw kiss)

I Made Three Valentines Today

I made three valentines today,
I'll give them all away.
The one for Mommy is red.
The one for Daddy is blue.
It's really pretty, too!
And here's a big one just for you.

My Valentine Heart

(point to lips) When I say I love you
(hand on heart) It comes from my heart
(point to ear) You hear it in your ear
(point to head) And it sounds very smart
(stand very tall) I love it when you're proud of me
(stretch arms wide) You say it all day long
(point to ear) And when I hear you say it
(hand on heart) My heart sings a merry song

Where is Family

Where is mommy, where is mommy?
Here she is, here she is.
How are you today sir, very well and thank you.
Run away, run away.

Where is daddy, where is daddy...

where is brother, where is brother...

where is sister, where is sister...

where is baby, where is baby...

where is family, where is family...


Five Fancy Valentines

Five fancy valentines for people I adore
I gave one to Mommy; now there are four.
Four fancy valentines all made me
I gave one to Daddy; now there are three.
Three fancy valentines that say, "I Love You"
I gave one to sister; now there are two.
Two fancy valentines to give away for fun
I gave one to brother; now there is one.
One fancy valentine my story's almost done
I gave it to baby; now there is none.

Ten Little Friends

Two little houses across the street
Open the doors, and ten friends meet.
How do you do? And how are you?
Such lovely sunny weather
Off they go to Music Makers
Ten little friends -- together.

Will You Be my Valentine?

Will you be my V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E?
If you will you surely know how happy I will be!
Sugar, spice and all things nice that's what you are to me.
Will you be my V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E?
