  • "Clap your Hands"

    Clap your hands one, two, three.

  • "Two Little Eyes"

    Two little eyes to look around
    Two little ears to hear each sound
    One little nose to smell what's sweet
    One little mouth that likes to eat

  • "Oh, the Noble Duke of York"

    Oh, the noble Duke of York
    He had 10 thousand men
    He marched them up to the top of the hill
    Then he marched them down again
    And when they were up, they were up
    And when they were down, they were down
    And when they were only half-way up
    They were neither up nor down
    (EXTERNAL LINK: Some activities based on this song at Kididdles.com)

  • "Pease Porridge Hot"

    Pease porridge hot
    Pease porridge cold
    Pease porridge in the pot,

    Some like it hot
    Some like it cold
    Some like it in the pot
    Nine days old

Rhymes:

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,

Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away!
