In the Springtime:A Piggyback Song

(Note: "In the Springtime" is a song for children sung to the tune of "Frere Jacques").

In the springtime
In the springtime
Flowers grow
Flowers grow.
Birds and bees appear
Birds and bees appear
And warm winds blow
Warm winds blow.

Bonus activity: Give children a choice between three worksheets to color-a bird, a bee or a flower.

Pet Song

Kittens, puppies, goldfish, too
are all pets that need you to
care for them the proper way
and love them each and every day!

Note: Explain to children that, while having a pet is fun, choose wisely before deciding on one because they are a big responsibility.

It is Almost Halloween

"It is Almost Halloween" is a children's song, sung to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".

It is almost Halloween,
So let's all draw a spooky scene
Like ghosts floating through the air
Or a vampire (if you dare!).
It is almost Halloween,
So let's all draw a spooky scene!

Bonus activity: Have children suggest other spooky scenes to draw and list them on the blackboard, such as:
a haunted house
a witch flying across the moon
a mummy
a scary-faced pumpkin,
then give children crayons and paper and let them choose a spooky scene to draw.
