Good morning to you,
Good morning to you,
Our day is beginning,
There's so much to do!


PLAY TIME:

Ring Around the Rosie
Ring around the rosie,
(turn in a circle while holding your
child)
A pocket full of posie
Ashes, Ashes,
We all fall down.
(fall gently to the floor while holding
your child)


Round and Round
Round and round the garden
Like a teddy bear
One step, two step,
Tickle me under there.
(tickle your child's armpits).

Round and round the garden
Like a teddy bear
One step, two step,
Tickle me everywhere.
(tickle everywhere!)

Pat A Cake

Pat a cake, Pat a cake,  Baker's Man
Bake me a cake  as fast as you can.
Pat it and prick it  And mark it with a "B"
Put it i the oven for baby and me.

Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go round
and round
Round and round, round and
round
The wheels on the bus go round
and round
All through the town.
(Roll baby's hands over each
other)

The wipers...swish swish swish
(put baby's arms together in front
of you and swish like windshield
wipers.)

The door...open and shut
(Take baby's hands apart, then
put them together, as in a clap).

The horn... beep beep beep
(Pretend to honk a horn)

Surprise Bag:
Fill a bag with things
that are round and let
your baby explore:
different sized balls,
fruit, toy cars with
round wheels, etc.
Include a picture of a
circle and trace the
circle with your finger
a number of times  
while saying "around
and around".


Round Scavenger
Hunt
Scavenger hunts are
our favorite!. Find
things throughout the
house that are round.
Doorknobs, drawer
pulls, buttons, etc.

Face to Face Interaction:
Hold your baby closely and
walk around in a small circle,
saying "round and round we go
in a circle." When you stop
spinning, ask him "Are you
dizzy?" Switch directions and
spin around the other way.
Don't do this exercise right after
baby has eaten!
