I am so Happy
Sung to "You are my Sunshine"
I am so happy, so very happy, 
I want to sing all day long.
I am so happy, so very happy,
Won't you come and sing along?
  Let children sing about what they are happy about. Ex. "I am so happy because it's Easter; I am so happy I have new shoes; I am so happy the sun is shining; " etc.


Beaver Call
Beavers one and beavers all,
Let's all get the beaver call.
Hold hands, limp-wristed, in front of your chest.
Fuh, fuh, fuh... Fuh, fuh, fuh
Fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh

Beavers two and beavers three, 
Let's all chew a beaver tree.
Hold and gnaw an imaginary log.
Fuh, fuh, fuh... Fuh, fuh, fuh
Fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh

Beavers four and beavers five,

Let's all do the beaver jive.

Hold hands at shoulder height, index fingers pointing up.

and rock to the beat.

Fuh, fuh, fuh... Fuh, fuh, fuh
Fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh

Beavers six and beavers seven,

Let's all fly to beaver heaven.

Hook your thumbs in your armpits and flap your wings to the beat.

Fuh, fuh, fuh... Fuh, fuh, fuh
Fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh

Beavers eight and beavers nine,

Let's all give the beaver sign.

Holds hands, palms together, parallel to the ground.

and clap them open and shut.

Fuh, fuh, fuh... Fuh, fuh, fuh
Fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh

Beavers ten, beavers ten.

Let's be beavers once again.

Fuh, fuh, fuh... Fuh, fuh, fuh
Fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh

Down By the Lake
Sung to "Down by the Station"
Down by the lake early in the morning,
See the little fish swimming by your boat.
See them swish their tails all across the lake, 
Swish, swish, swish, swish, off they go.

It's Time to Clean Up
Sung to "The Farmer and the Dell"
It's time to clean up now.
It's time to clean up now.
Heigh-ho, just watch us go.
It's time to clean up now.

We'll put our things away.
Ready for another day.
Heigh-ho, just watch us go.
We'll put our things away.

Busy
We step, step, step, and tap, tap, tap
And then we turn around.
We step, step, step, and tap, tap, tap
And bow without a sound.
We clap down low, we clap up high.
We touch the ground-we touch the sky.
We step, step, step, and tap, tap, tap
And then we sit right down.

This is my right hand 
This is my right hand; I can raise it up high
This is my right hand, I can touch the sky.
This is my right hand, I can touch the ground.
This is my right hand, I can pound, pound, pound.
This is my right hand, watch it quickly dart.
This is my right hand, I can put it on my heart.

I Can Feel the Rhythm
I can feel the rhythm in my head.
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
I can feel the rhythm in my hands
clap-clap, clap-clap.
I can feel the rhythm in my feet 
Stomp-stomp, stomp-stomp.
I can feel the rhythm in my hips,
Hip-hop, hip-hop.
You can continue by adding other body parts!

Wiggle Song
My thumbs are starting to wiggle,
My thumbs are starting to wiggle,
My thumbs are starting to wiggle,
Around and around and around.
Continue by adding other body part (toes, ears,  nose, tummy, knees)
End with:
Now all of me is starting to wiggle,

Now all of me is starting to wiggle,
Now all of me is starting to wiggle,
Around and around and around.

Seasons Songs

Round and round the seasons go

Round and round the seasons go,

Winter comes cold white snow.

Round and round the seasons go,

Spring comes flowers grow.

Round and round the seasons go

Summer comes hot and slow.

Round and round the seasons go,

Fall comes leaves blow.

I love it when it's autumn

I love it when it's autumn

It's autumn, it's autumn.

I love it when it's autumn

The autumn is cool

There is football and soccer

And hunting and hiking.

I love it when it's autumn.

Autumn is cool.

Lots of leaves are falling down

Lots of leaves are falling down, falling down

Falling down in a flutter.

Take the rake and pile them up, pile them up

In a mountain.

Run and jump and roll around, roll around

Wee it's autumn.
